"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.
Also, both modeled and named after the author — who then later went by “Yonen” to differentiate himself from the homicidal maniac shooting up schools he was drawing while still in school…
The 90s were wild.
source: I know his former classmates personally, and they each wanted to be far AF away from him ASAP.
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.

If you want to read it.
It’s probably even more fucked up than what you’re picturing, though pretty funny if you enjoy very dark humor.
Strangely. I just met him last weekend. Cool dude irl.
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.
