Congrats to ADDTF for one solid year of reading comics naked.

Also, welcome back ADD and In Sequence.

Did I miss anyone?

 
Because You Demanded It!

This is the special All-Turbo Teen edition of the blog.

Inspired by the wonder that is Turbo Teen, Dave Roman and John Green have created the comic sensation known as Teen Boat, the first eight pages of which can be found in the link. To learn more about the creation of this piece of comic genius, check out the interview at Comicon.

In other Double T news, Jim Woodring once explained the significance of this classic cartoon in an interview with Gary Groth of the Comics Journal, issue #164.

“Then I worked on the masterpiece of shit – it was called Turbo Teen, about a guy who turned into a car. Not just any car, it was a big muscle car. And the people who wrote that show were such jackasses that… I remember there was one character who was dancing at a dance in one scene, and this guy called out, “Get it down, Jack!” – the writer evidently couldn’t remember if it was “Get it on,” or “Get down,” and then to just give this ‘80s show an authentic ‘50s touch, “Jack!” It was just so sad! [laughter]

Somebody brought in an anti-drug pamphlet that showed on the cover a horribly deformed baby whose head looked like a wad of silly putty that had been mangled, and John hung it up on the door and had it saying, “Oh no, I’m turning into Turbo Teen!” That summed it up nicely.”

Expect more Turbo Teen news as the story breaks.
