To explain, Johnny, I'm afraid, is probably an exercise in futility but I'm always up for a challenge once in awhile.
Another piece of obvious information: Johnny is not a nice guy. He kills people for being mean to him. I mean the really little things like talking during his favorite movie, insulting him about his appearance, or using a word he doesn't particularly like. He's taken a flying leap over the line of over-reacting. But that's the thing though, you're not supposed to like him. You're supposed to recognize the facts that life is not fair and people are petty and obnoxious (with a few rare exceptions). He lives in a shack with a many leveled basement filled with torture devices and interesting toys of impending doom. He uses them to destroy evil people who, he thinks, deserve it. Like I said, they usually make fun of him because of the way he looks and for that, they automatically suck, but they don't deserve to die, it's just another example of Johnny taking things a little too far over the line of over-reacting. He uses the blood of the people to paint a wall in one of the rooms. Behind the wall is an unnamed evil (by the way, it's not a moose). He uses the blood to keep the wall wet and the thing trapped. Eventually the thing gets out, kills a few people and ... it's a really long story. Go buy the comics, you silly thing, you. He has a few companions: his next door neighbor, Todd (aka Squee) and Nail Bunny, a pet rabbit he had that he fed once and promptly nailed to the wall. Nail Bunny is Johnny's voice of reason it's a little strange to explain so go out and get the books yourself. There are the doughboys, Psycho Doughboy and Mr. Eff. They are Johnny's other voices but after awhile they become, self-aware, and one of them actually encourages Johnny to end his miserable life. This leads to some strange and interesting stuff.
