I am poking through the SLG boards (though I've only made one post as of yet...going under the nice, non-gender assuming moniker of nohbody [I loved that bit in the Odyssey like you wouldn't believe], in the IZ section...) and found this (rather old) post by J.V. which made me laugh very loudly in front of my keyboard:

When I do a JTHM run again, I plan for it to be the worst thing human eyes have
ever laid eyes on.

My thinking is that human beings always have this innate desire to improve upon
the past, to build higher and stronger upon the foundation built on experience.

I want to do something different. I wish to rebel against tha natural, and embrace
the perversion of human striving. I want to draw the book with my feet. I want
Johnny to be a happy little guy who works at Hot Dog on a stick, and who drives a
new Beetle.

In order for people to truly feel something new from the books, they will have to
be so horribly sickened by them that they want to throw drinks in my face. This
will give them something to talk about that far exceeds the usual noise about how
the older books were better than the originals. The new books should make people
cry for having spent any money on them.

There should also be a magical talking baby beaver in the book who gives Johnny
good advice on how to be a good person.


Hee hee hee. I cackle. XD; (even though, reading further on, Dan Vado [head person at SLG] doubted that it was actually Jhonen posting, and then later it seemed that it was actually him... hard to tell on a message board where anonymous posting is allowed, I suppose. Either way I was amused)
