GWW: Did you run into any roadblocks regarding copyright that may have influenced your ability to make creative choices?

Eric: Well, no, since Nickelodeon granted Oni full license to the entire INVADER ZIM property, we can pull anything from any ZIM show ever without any trouble. It’s not like they were trying to sneak out a ZIM comic without anyone noticing. They asked all the right people, and the right people patted them on the head and said, “Yes. You do that.” Sadly, they didn’t talk to DC Comics. I keep trying to write Aqualad into every story, and Oni keeps pulling him out.

Fred: For some reason Nickelodeon has been forthcoming with the rights to all the characters in the show but Invader Skoodge. Rumor is they’re planning a Spongebob crossover with him sometime in 2022 and don’t want to get the rights all tied up. But this is just a wild, unsubstantiated rumor that I heard someone make up once.
