If TMNT never left the pages of comics, do you think you'd ever discover it? - Page 3

hmm.. To the time machine!

I used to spend hours in comic stores when I was a kid digging through bins. I'd have found turtles eventually and since I always liked mutants and stuff I would have bought it. I'd have probably gotten into it but it would have taken me longer. It'd be like how I am with Moon Knight. I liked him as a kid but I never paid too close attention to him. Now that I'm older I'm more interested in him as a character instead of just liking him because he's cool looking.

Sadly I think I would have never have found out about TMNT without the OT on Tv God bless Fred Wolf.

At first I thought of 2: I never seen any Bone cartoons (are there any?) but I do know that such comics exist. Tough I really doubt that I'll try to read it someday. So yes, even without cartoons (or movies) I'd most definitely find out about TMNT (since I'm in a lot of comics lately).

But then it crossed my mind: Archie's TMNT were published here (and even one issue of CaW)! And there's a big chance I still could end up with couple of issues even without cartoons (ElfQuest, Asterix, Indiana Jones - ring any bell?). It's a fate, people. You can run but you can't hide.
