Squee! is published by Slave Labor Graphics (www.slavelabor.com).
Here I'm gonna talk about Squee! #1, the only issue I have with me.
On the first page, in the usual copyrights box, you can read this:
SQUEE#1 April 1997. Published by those spooky, dead babies at Slave Labor Graphics 979 S. Bascom Ave.
San Jose, CA 95128. SQUEE! and all it's pierced nipple-ripping contents are tm and (c) "DOPE-ASS" Jhonen Vasquez. No part of this publication may be reproduced or forced down a loved one's throat without the written permission oh Jhonen Vasquez and Slave Labor Graphics. I don't know about you, but I feel like going dancing, and having all those idiots give me dirty looks for not dancing the RIGHT way. Then maybe I'll drive home screaming with the stereo. Those little food characters on commercials always spooked me- they were always happy and trying to get you to eat them. That's just not right.
About Squee
Age: 6
Parents: They think he already graduated school and moved out of the house.
Best friends: Pepito (The Antechrist) and Shmee (teddy bear stuffing).
Hobbies: Being abducted by two (2) different alien species in the same night, dog attacks witness, seeing his classmates getting blown apart by deathrays.
Some funny quotes
Alien 1: Screaming is a practice in futility, little squeaking human. Your parents are now under a deeeep sleep. An alien sleep, ooooooh! Hmm... I forgot to bring the sleeper-ray.
Alien 2: But... the adults! How are they being restrained?
Alien 1: Well... I kept striking their heads until they were sleepy.
Squee: They laugh at me when they read my stories, even though some of them can't even read. What's that, Shmee? Nooo... Setting people on fire is wrong. You're silly Shmee.
Squee (at a Show and Tell):Umm... This is a squirrel. It's all smashed cuz the crazy neighbor man {Johnny The Homicidal Maniac - ed} ran it over. He said it was an accident, but he's still pretty crazy.
Happy Noodle Boy: Timmy's in trouble!!
Jhonen Vasquez, about children: They're really cool, and they stay crunchy in milk.
Others
Another nifty feature of Squee! #1 are the "Meanwhile..." parts, having nothing to do with Squee. Look at this one:
Tickle me Hellmo! (yaaay!)
This wonderful doll has dozens of levels, here are some of them:
Level 1: Hellmo giggles when squeezed!
Level 2: Vibrates with glee!
Level 3: Hellmo begins to question the nature of the relationship (Why do you keep touching me?).
Level 6: Secretes substance inducing vicious rash and temporary blindness.
Level 8: Alters child's taste buds so that everything tastes like pork.
Level 10: Utilizing injected nano-technology, Hellmo causes severe neurological damage.
Level 11: Summons local monkeys to brutalize the child (kids love monkeys).
Level 15: Hellmo's feet explode with deadly shrapnel, obliterating little Jorge's nether regions! (And still they tickle that kooky doll!)
Level 16: Re-enacts the torture scene from Reservoir Dogs (Only twice, kids have only two ears).
Level 18: Teleports ninja stars into your intestnes!!
And many more...
All in all, Squee is a calm child, with bad friends, bad parents and a very bad neighbor. His main activity is FEAR. Any sorts. All Jhonen Vasquez's fears when he was a child (after reading the comic, you'll doubt he has ever been a child).
Vasquez has stopped drawing/writing Squee, Jhonny The Homicidal Maniac and I Feel Sick but he's the creator/writer/co-producer of Invader Zim on Nickelodeon. More details on www. slavelabor.com
