Creepy Little Girls

Well I deciced, since I adore comics and cartoons, to post some gothic cartoons and comics! Of course, this will take a few articles because I don't want you to get bored and because there are lots of gothic comics(there's something I didn't even expected)...The first thing I'm going to write about is apparently little, goth, creepy girls. I found out about them on this. Here we go:
 Mandy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Mandy, along with Billy, owns the Grim Reaper after winning in a limbo game. He serves them as their best friend forever. She's truly cold and tough, very cynical and hostile. She never smiles. She wants to rule the world and practically hates everything. She has a fear of figure skaters, distrusting the way they spin. Her "best friend" is Billy, though she treats him like a monkey. She seems to care when he's in trouble but it's only for a her own benefit like Billy owes her ten bucks. Also, aside from Billy's idiotic yet kind-hearted personality, he's a psychopath. 
 Creepella "Creepie" Creecher from Growing Up Creepie. Obviously, you know she's creepy. She's raised by creepy crawlies. She was abandoned as a baby in Dweezwold Mansion, where a lot of insects live in. Her father is a vegan vampire-like mosquito and her mother is a MorticiaAddams-like praying mantis. Creepie, of course, can talk to them but she keeps her life a secret because Middlington is a town of insectophobic people, except for her best friend Budge who knows her secret. Her love interest is Tarantula Boy, a.k.a. Skipper, who's actually half tarantula from the carnival. Creepie is really goth with her cynical, sarcastic and mysterious nature, and her favorite word is "Wicked". Whenever she recites a poem, creepy stuffs happen. And her photography brings out the beauty of the dark. Here's the theme song.
 Gaz from Invader Zi. Gaz is "Dib's scary sister". She has a penchant for video games and a fixation with pizza and piggies. When someone stand in the way of her getting those things, she won't hesitate to thrust them into "a nightmare world from which there is no awakening." She seems to possess spooky supernatural powers. She knows that Zim is an alien, but doesn't care because she thinks he's too stupid to take over the world. Although she is possibly the smartest character on the show, Gaz, like the others, has shown some obvious signs of insanity. She's really cute when her eyes open wide. Her outfit is similar to Pepito, the son of Satan, from Jhonen Vasquez's "Squee!".
 Ruby Gloom from Ruby Gloom. Like Emily the Strange and Pucca, she's from an apparel franchise and made into an animated series. Ruby is indeed what we call "Perky Goth". She is a girl who can find happiness in anything. "Look on the bright side" is a phrase she chants like a mantra, and it serves her well. There isn't a single thing in the world that gets her down or a single negative that she can't turn into a positive. Her positive attitude has been shown to be helpful, as it allows Ruby to act as the voice of reason in the mansion, while her friends tends to lose focus on real issues. Ruby also has a crush on Skull Boy, who is one of her friends. Her upbeat outlook also makes Ruby very loyal to her friends and there's nothing she wouldn't do for any of them. She likes to have quiet time to write in her diary and sew with Doom Kitty. 
 Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family Now this is a family of creepy and grim relatives. There were two animated series, 1973 and 1992. The picture is from the 1973. In 1992, Wednesday is wearing a dark blue dress. Unlike in the films, where she was portrayed by Christina Ricci, the cartoon Wendesday Addams is much sweeter, but still she loves death and the macabre, and enjoys torturing her brother Pugsley in a friendly atmosphere. She has pet spiders and her doll is named Marie Antoinette whose head is already guillotined. Her name is based on the nursery rhyme "Wednesday's child is full of woe." Of course if you had read my previous posts you've know her!
 Ellen from Edgar & Ellen. The books and the cartoon series are about two twins who cause mischief and mayhem in their sickly sweet town, Nod's Limbs. They live in a 13-story mansion, near the junkyard or the "Gadget Graveyard." They have no parents, although, they have a creepy-smiling groundskeeper named Heimertz. The twins are named after Edgar Allan Poe, with Pet being Poe (it's a hairball creature with one eye). Ellen is older by 2 minutes and 13 seconds. She's the mad scientist who concocts potions from her living plants, while Edgar specializes in gadgets and stunts. They are both clever and creative in carrying out pranks, but they usually quarrel and their pranks backfire.
 
  Maggot from Zombie Hotel I haven't seen an episode of this Disney show, but by the pictures of them from the Internet, it's really nice. Like Edgar and Ellen, the protagonists are the twins Maggot and Fungus who lives in a creepy mansion. But their zombie family turned this mansion into a hotel. Yet they have to hide their secret from the townspeople while they attend school with their best friend Sam, who knows their secret and whom Maggot has a crush on. The character designs of the show are pretty neat and wished I could watch it on TV. Here's the theme song.


 Emily The Strange. It's obviously the most well-known cartoon. It's all about a girl, Emily, who is absolutely goth living with her 4 cats, Sabbath, Mystery, Miles, and Nee Chee.She first appeared on a sticker distributed at concerts, record stores and skate shops to promote Cosmic Debris, the clothing line founded by artist and skateboarder Rob Reger, racecar driver Matt Reed and Nathan Carrico, who designed Emily in 1991 for Santa Cruz Skateboards in Santa Cruz, California.
 Well I actually copied most of these from the blog I've put above...It's really interesting and you should visit it! Wait for the next article!
