Well, He and another artist made a Mini Comic called "Everthing can be Beaten" about a young man named "It" who carries around a Hammer and learns that everything can indeed, be beaten. Last I heard, he was going to start a Comic of Short Stories, much like the "Meanwhiles" he did in Johnny and Squee.

Well, they made two seasons. The first ones all aired on Nick, and I think 2-3 of the Second Season Aired on Nick, but it was canceled. The rest of the Third Season was aired in Brazil (Go figure..) There's been good and bad talk of the second season. Some of the Episodes are great, and some of them seem to be cliché and lacking the style that the previous Episodes had. This can be explained by two things. Firstly, Jhonen and Steve and the rest of the Zim crew were under alot of pressure, The Nick execs were not entirely fond of Zim and were constantly nit-picking things. In a post I read by Steve Ressel (Who was the Art Director.. I think) said that moral was low, and most of them were ready to quit rather than deal with the Censors and Nick, so the episodes suffered. Also, near the cancellation, they made a "New and Improved" Episodes that were simpler with less screaming and less complex plots. The episodes that were not aired in the United States will be on the DVDs to my understanding.

This does not include "Zim's Most Horrible Christmas Ever" since it was made after the cancellation. Jhonen and company begged them to do at least a final Huurah in the form of a Christmas episodes. Which they did. Yup. I am a Cornicupa of Invader Zim info. I have too much free time.
