20 years ago today, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird watched too much bad TV and ended up creating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Insane!

It wasn't until May 5th that the first comic was published, which is the official anniversary, but I think today still warrants a, "Wahoo!"

So.. Wahoo!

Taken from the official site, then hosted on mine ^_^.

I can only imagine what they'd look like now if they stuck with the over weight look. :lol: .

You're really close Arashi Panduh. I wasn't born till late 1985 so I didn't even know about the comics untill like 1996, but the cartoon was great. That's way cool that this is 20 years! That seems like a long time for the Turtles to still be going strong!

Yep all began with two guys that came up with an unusal idea that later became a very successful comic series, TV show, movies, and merchandise.

I heard there won't be any special event of the 20th anniversary of TMNT in 2004. not unless Laird is planning a special event by the 25th anniversary.

Anyway it's good to see TMNT making their way for 20 years.

We're keeping our fingers crossed for something at Comic-Con next year. But even if they don't, a bunch of us have our own thing in mind. :)

Would be nice if they released a special addition "Krang in his android body" action figure. As far as I remember, they never released it in the 80's, despite the fact that Krang was a key character in the show.

Wow the creation of the turtles is not far of from my age. My birthday is September 16th 1983, making me 20 as well. Dang if only I'd been born a little later I could've shared a birthday with the TMNTs. Ah well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TMNTs, and yay for Eastman and Laird! :)
