Jhonen Vasquez (born September 1, 1974), also known by his pseudonyms 'Mr. Scolex' and 'Chancre Scolex', is a cartoonist living in Los Angeles, California, United States. He is the creator of a number of alternative comics published by Slave Labor Graphics including JTHM, I Feel Sick, Fillerbunny, Bad Art Collection, and Squee!, as well as the creator and writer of the short-lived animated television series Invader Zim.
Many of the characters in Vasquez's cartoons are highly geometric and nearly thin to the point of being stick figures. The protagonists in his comics are typically insane characters who live in dysfunctional societies, and whose manias are able to speak through other objects (as with Johnny and the Doughboys, or Devi and Sickness.) His storylines tend to follow the basic
'black comedy' formula.
