Black April

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah. And I guarantee you nobody reading the comics "live" in the 80s ever gave it a second thought. Yep, she got a perm, like everybody else was doing at the time.

The two worst things to come out of "modern" TMNT was giving the Turtles nostrils in the live-action movies and making black April a canon thing in recent TMNT shows. And god forbid if that sticks in whatever the next live-action movie reboot is.

Peter Laird must be rolling in his grave. I wanted to watch April O'Neil, not Shoshana O'Neil. I wanted to watch the Turtles not 4 Hulks with nostrils.

Ah yes, how he dedicated a reprint book by himself to himself, real interesting things the dead can do these days despite being dead.

Nowadays people can roll in their graves while still being alive. It's a new concept, just started recently.

Literally a Hebrew name, but whatever man

The name has also been used for black women, this woman was born in 1973 and served in the military named Shoshana:

She fought in the Iraq war in 2003. Interesting bio if you take a look.

I wonder which Ninja Turtle is her favorite. My guess is Donatello.

Did you actually google “black women named Shoshana” and find a singular example who went by “Shana”?

[Heyowakka]

If CyberCubed doesn’t answer back with, ”Sho’ enough.”, I’m going to be extremely disappointed.

[CyberCubed]

I'm pretty sure there was a black girl in my High School whose name was Shoshana. I never talked to her but when she raised her hand and the teacher called her by name, she said, "Yes, Shoshana?"

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, wasn't Shoshana the name of Jerry Seinfeld's once-underage Jewish girlfriend?

“What’s the DEAL with these once-underage girlfriends? You mean one day they’re in high school and now they’re in their 30’s? What is the world coming to?!?”

[Heyowakka]

Who do you think Jerry Seinfeld’s favorite Ninja Turtle is? Probably Leonardo.
