    "The author of Invader Zim used to make some really wacky comic books about a suicidal serial killer who couldn’t pull the trigger, who turned out to be serving a greater purpose by culling the herd on earth but he only learns that after rigging up a rube goldberg to shoot himself when his phone goes off (but nobody would ever call him) except today was the day that somebody did in fact call him. He goes to hell and is unimpressed with the devil so the devil transforms into a blonde cheerleader to punish him, which is highly effective.

    Hang on, your order is ready…"

      And some Nickelodeon executive said, “give that guy a show!”

      I mean I’m glad that they did, but it’s kind of like having Chuck Tingle do a family sitcom.

        It is funny you say that because I think one theory is that Chuck Tingle might have been created by one of the McElroy brothers during their time at Polygon.

        You could almost consider what they do now to be an audio family sitcom.
