Page "Jhonen Vasquez" Paragraph 2

Vasquez created Happy Noodle Boy while attending Mt.

Pleasant.

According to Vasquez, " So many years ago, my little romantical friend in high school was the unwitting reason Happy Noodle Boy was created.

She always asked me for comics, but I couldn't draw as fast as she requested.

Thus, I tried to create the worst abomination of a comic that I could, so as to make her not want comics anymore.

That abomination, my friends, was Happy Noodle Boy ".

Vasquez read his older brother's superhero comics as a child, but first became interested in the medium through the original independent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman.
