TMNT Daily Comic Strip
Do we know if a complete collection exists anywhere in either digital form or old cut outs from newspapers? Wonder if we could all pull what we have to complete it?

Yes, I have come across it but I don't remember where to find it and I wouldn't be allowed to tell you where anyway. Regardless it's annoying because each strip is a page of it's own, making it a pain to read.
You're better off hoping IDW will release a collection eventually. |

I cut them out every day for years and put them into scrapbooks until my paper stopped running them. I'm not sure how much is missing from the end but it's a solid accounting of a lot of them. It's in two separate scrapbooks. Take a look:
Volume I Volume II Also, the publication 'Comics Revue' reprinted a bunch of them in the early 90s. These are the issues they were in: Comics Revue Last edited by rich; 04-21-2020 at 06:44 PM. |

Dan Berger used to post them occasionally on the old ninjaturtles.com website. Maybe they can be found on the wayback machine. I don't think he ever got through them all, though.

Hey! I think I might have finally found the Holy Grail on this. I'll report back in a while, hopefully with some definitive images!

Somebody remind me again which strips we lack from having a complete run.
I have all the files downloaded but on my home computer.

The best way to ever get this done properly would be for someone who had the entire series run in their local newspaper from start to finish to go down to the local library and slowly start to take the scanned images that would be archived on microfiche for each day. You’d able to bring them home on a USB disk these days. It would take forever though. Unfortunately, this never ran in my local paper.

As far as I remember there was a story that was sorta serious with dinosaurs and shredder and stuff and it followed a 'see the next strip to see more of how this story unfolds'. It felt like a missing story from Archie.
The next one was drawn out and followed the 'third panel is the punchline' format most strips do. Rat King was running for office and was gonna feed people brainwashing food but at the end (after the turtles finally got off their asses) it seemed Rat King was standing right onto the sewer lid the turtles would come out of, tripping him up, ruining his speech and whatever else. I think the next take brought in shredder but it was more drawn out daily gag comic stuff but I either tuned out, dad stopped buying the paper or it ended. I remember Batman had a strip around the time of the first movie which was serious in tone but happened after the movie. My teacher was so pissed it got cancelled over the turtles taking it over.

That was in the UK papers. Completely different team and storylines.

Can we get a Mod to merge this thread with the older, more extensive one?
http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=52868 There's some information in the old thread that could possibly answer some questions in this one.

The newspaper strip is a bit of blindspot for me. I vaguely remember it from my childhood but I might be mixing it up with the old magazine I had a subscription to. Can someone paint for me broad strokes of what we are talking about?
When did it run, what years? Which artists? I know Berger, Brown, Allan, etc. but I don't when they working on the title. Did E&L ever do a strip? How many strips in total, dailies, sundays? I know lots of questions, just got curious recently and can't seem to find much to go on. |

I think we should take this into our own hands. Just starting a website or a blog with well enough scanned pictures of every strip with touch-up on photoshop to make them look better.
I'm willing to do the photoshop part If I can get good enough resolution of the scans. And if we can't get good enough versions, we can just put the bad ones and replace them over time. AND if it get enough watch, maybe IDW might do something about it (or use them?). Do a website like those webcomics strip ones. With the release date at the top and all. (And, when it's all done and IDW never do anything about it, we can eventually make limited hardcover versions of them like Demon-Alukard is doing with the Italian LE TARTARUGHE NINJA Comics) |

i started collecting in a file every Strip I can find and put them in order of date (ex: 1991-04-01).

For the UK strip, it might be more difficult. There is no real good sources. AND I need to find a good free host for putting everything on a website. Thinking of using canalblog (the only one I'm used to) but if anybody know any other hosting for a blog version just tell me. |
