What did you think? Don't tell me I was the only one who saw it. It normally takes a lot to make me laugh aloud at a tv show or movie, but Zim had me cracking up. GIR especially. I was extremely impressed by how well it all came together... the humor, Jhonen's designs, the animation, CGI (which I normally can't stand to see mingling with hand-drawn animation)... I'm a happy Mofo. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>------------------

Though come to think of it, those goths would probably support him for the rest of his life on reprintings alone. But those big tall boots he wears can't be cheap and they ain't just giving black eyeliner and mascara away, so he'd better get back to being commercially viable.

he's put out two fillerbunny mini-books, which aren't really worth buying. they're easy to flip through whilst in the comic store.<P>i also saw a fillerbunny squeeze toy. kinda like the spooky one.<P>jhonen should make a 'bad art collection' animated series.

I do wish they would recognize that this already has a built in older audience though and keep the 30 minute format...

They're re-broadcasting the first episode tomorrow (Thursday) at 6pm EST. And then they'll show all-new episodes every Friday at 9pm. At first I thought they would be showing full-length 30-minute episodes... but it seems they're breaking them down into two 15-minute ones like most of the other Nicktoons. How disappointing...<P>------------------
