Invader Zim!
Daemonik writes, For those interested, Amazon is preselling an Invader Zim DVD available May 11th.
Invader Zim was perhaps one of the oddest and most original cartoon of the last decade. Created by Jhonen Vasquez who also created the comic books SQUEE and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Zim is an alien from the planet Irk sent to conquer the Earth.

and
