I feel pathetic, here's a golden opportunity and I can't think of a single question to asked the man.:x

I think its probably because everything we could possibly ask him...we already know the answer to. Since he's not involved with IDW/Nick or the new movie, there's nothing to ask him about current TMNT going on.

And since he had nothing to do with the original toon, that's out too.

You can really only ask him about the Mirage comics, 4kids cartoon, and probably the four movies.

Asked one simple question: Seen any new TMNT lately?

And then i deleted it, because a friend and fellow fan pointed out that he answered that self same question in his opening statement....

I wonder why he isn't reading IDW or watching the nick series? I know he needed a break from turtles but you would think he would at least be a little interested in the new stories.

He said after he sold Turtles he wanted to distance himself from the franchise. Same reason why he didn't finish Volume 4.

I wonder if it's because it's like all fan-fiction and fan-art to him? He seems to have a pretty solid idea of the tmnt world that he co-created.

[ZariusTwo]

At least he seems to be semi-interested in the Nick show, having bought the first season. I suspect we'll get a full range of his thoughts on it sooner or later...

...Or it could be like Ian Rankin is with DVDs of Rebus, where as he doesnt watch any of the adaptations of his books at all but feels compelled to support the franchise he created.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm eager to see what he thinks, though I doubt it'll be high praise.

Glad Peter answered my questions once again, it's always awesome to hear back from a turtles legend.

He answered mine too! Which I was stoked about.

I love reading Peter Laird's posts. He's so entertainingly blunt.

Yeah he tells it exactly how it is. No sugar coating at all.

[Tazi]

No need to apologize -- there are no "plans" per se to finish Volume 4 at this point in time. I hope to do it sometime, but it won't be soon -- that's about all I can say.
ahhhh :cry:

[Coola Yagami]

I was also excited to see that he actually took the time to answer my questions. LOL

[The Fifth Turtle]

On a side note....... can IDW print vol. 4? Anyone know?

[CyberCubed]

Yes they can.

[Coola Yagami]

They should be able to .... but will they is the question.

[CyberCubed]

They should be able to .... but will they is the question.

When they get up to it. They're almost done with Volume 1 so they have to go through Volume 2 and Image next.

Good thing is they're already going through Tales in a separate series so that won't interfere.

[The Fifth Turtle]

Yes they can.

Thanks. Hopefully they can continue to churn these out while turtles are hot. I miss having these stories after I sold my entire comic collection.

[CyberCubed]

I can't believe someone asked him about Turtlecest on his blog. Seriously, people, keep that sick stuff out of the minds of normal people.

I'm surprised Laird actually responded to it. Show some tact, people.

[Luckyday]

This was my favorite Question and Answer:lol:



"2. A lot of the TMNT fandom is divided based on preferences of comics v. shows v. movies v. pairings and which universe is "better" than another. I'm curious, your thoughts on how fans of the exact same franchise can grow so divided and hateful? "

People are weird. -- PL

"3- Why was Next Mutation canceled? I heard an number of reasons such as it had bad ratings or that the ratings were good but the show cost too much."

Could it have had something to do with the fact that it was crap?

[CyberCubed]

^ That was a good one. Peter Laird's blunt responses always make me laugh.:lol:

[mgambino]

My favorite thing about this Q&A was that he actually answered a question about slash fiction.

[Tazi]


"4- At the end of season 3 Karai and Chaplin are sent back to Earth to be handed over to the proper authorities. So why is Karai running the Foot again in season 4 and why is Chaplin back in the Foot in season 5?"

Good lawyers.

[Vivi]

:tlol:
PL is good value.

[pannoni1]

I just asked him a question involving the use of female characters besides Karai and April involving the best method to present them, in light of the dearth of female characters currently being used (even one-offs). I've never asked/spoken to PL personally, so I made him my intro by showing my support on this forum. Thanks for the questions fans, as Peter gives out some great answers!
