If you're adapting a comic based probably Issue 1 all that you said probably wasn't clear. Yeah as you previously said 12 issues existed which wasn't much to begin with but if David only read like the first issue he's going to think he was responsible for TMNT's personalities. I don't think even David has considered that.

(Not saying the cartoon didn't amplify that success to an insane degree, just saying the comic was successful to begin with)

I doubt TMNT would have been a success had it not been for the cartoon series. The comic did okay underground but it probably in the long run would have come and gone again again.

Well this 'little peanut brain' is reporting you're post for complete rudeness.
