"I'm so happy
Because today I found my friends.
They're in my head."
-Lithium, Nirvana
That's Johnny above for those who are wondering. Johnny is the man. The whole series/book is written by Jhonen Vasquez, and the lines he gives Johnny are great. Although the title makes it sound like all he is is a one-sided psycho-killer, he's actually quite insightful at times, and the text is thought provocing at points. Especially in heaven, where God is portayed as a fat lazy man sitting in a recliner, doing so because he is still tired from creating the world. Thing is, it could actually be true for you Christians out there. And the concept of the hispanic devil is even better, Seņor Satan. One quote that I found extremely well written is the following:
"Dear Die-ary, I stared, motionless, before the mirror, as always, I stayed until I'm convinced that there is no glass, nothing, separating me from the room I see on the other side. I imagine that everything is different. Over there. Better. Thare are people, in that world, who I would like. But like always, my hand hits the glass. I know that if I'd only waited just one more second . . ."
Most of the parts that are like that are Dear Die-ary sections, but there are sections like the talk with Satan and with Devi. Another Quote:
"Sometimes. . .you can cry until there is nothing left wet in you. You can scream and curse to where your throat rebels and ruptures. You can pray all you want, to whatever God you think will listen. And still, it makes no difference. It goes on, with no sign as to when it might release you. And you know that if it ever did relent. . .it would not because it cared."
Happy Noodle Boy is the greatest however. With such quotes as "Listen to your naval, It knows things" and "Psst, Super-dog, Bite my head and give me super powers" this strip is most likely to cause you to go into vicious bouts of projectile vomited from every possible place on your body, and drive you mentally insane to boot.
