Fun fact: I went to a panel Rikki Simons hosted at OMGcon and he brought up how Nickelodeon had no idea of JTHM when they asked Jhonen to make a cartoon, only issue 1 of Squee. They found out in the middle of the show's run and Nickelodeon in regards to JTHM told the invader zim crew to "Not bring up Jhonen's 'Pornography comics' at work". That was fun to hear Rikki say into a microphone.

He also brought up the origin of “Bloody Gir” during the panel. The true backstory for it was some of the crew members watched, if I remember correctly, Fight Club and wanted something scary to be on screen for a split second.
So they drew it for the mortos de soulstealer opening and asked Rikki to color it, and apparently nickelodeon approved it as long as “It’s not too much like blood”
Rikki has seen the conspiracy videos on youtube about it and finds them funny

i always thoguht it was from the original plan of the episode where gir got fixed and became a competent invasion bot that had to be scrapped and the crew were salty at the execs and hid it into various episodes transparent.
