Well, I got a few more replies on my strip from Friday, which was actually quite pleasant.

The Book of Connerisms is now available. This strip, besides to peeps I personally know, does a few things.

-It introduces completely, Drew Hanson as a character to the comic strip.
-and shows that by-cracky, the towel joke IS darn funny, if you use it to clean yourself after a mess occurs.

If you remembers those two things, this strip which could also be called "Need a towel?" yet, is not, is, personally, shows I'm improving with my jokes. But I could be wrong. If you'd like to share your opinion with me, write me at Nick@dribbleforkids.com and I'll get back to you soon as possible.

Enjoy the strip.

.. 'TMNT' ..new show final theme..
..from the "Booger Blogger Bugger Berger Boy 'Dan Berger' of 'official TMNT web' fame :..
You can now hear an MP3 of the new TMNT cartoon theme song on this page! This is the final version that will be used for the new show! NOTE: this version is not the same as the one that was released on the Fox Box promotional CD that was given away at Toys R Us stores! I dunno what makes it different, because we never got any of those Fox Boxes to compare. =O)
..ok fine.. 'Final TMNT 2003 Theme-thingey.. :
..it's actually pretty c00l.. well.. i like it.. than6 to forum's 'DT' who i stole the tip from.. !!

Mucho thanks Tokka.

Btw, Mike is back. Just to share. Furthermore... TMNT # 6 I believe, is out. So whatcha waiting for! BUY IT! (or if you're broke like me, support the book anyway by going to your local store and picking up, reading it, while you 'skim' the book and then put it back and do the same to a few other comics as well... so when you talk to your fellow comic fans, you feel like you belong...)

Okay, seriously... BUY the book.

In other news... "The Wedding Gift" is now available. enjoy gang.

An Acquired Taste is now available.

It looks like me possibly not doing the strip for a few weeks is now moot, for my project has taken flight, and that is Dribble For Kids On-line, where it features all the comic strips. Missed one? Don't fear... you can catch up or find your favorite Dribble for Kids comic strip.

See yah Friday, gang!

--Nick

Road Rage: The Apology is now available.

Many thanks to Tokka for his kind words!!! YOU ROCK DUDE!! You know, being a TMNT fan and being on the TMNT Mailing list (TMNT-L) for quite a while, it's nice to actually be mentioned by Tokka. I don't know why, but it is a complete and total honor. (It's the way he talks... it really is cool... )LOL. Sorry for the rather late post gang, but I've been really busy doing some 'secret projects', which means next week's Tuesday post may be my final post for a few weeks or two. (it sucks... cos i was finally being 'responsible' by posting on time...) but when I come back posting, it will be in a big way, and hopefully it will rock all your socks off! (plus it will be on time! :-D ) At any rate, Tokka, everyone, I hope this makes your week a bit more better. ;-)

The news below about the toys simply KICKS BOOTY!!!! (and you thought i was gonna say ____.) Gosh, lately so many things seem to be going right for me, and the TMNT coming back is definately one of them.

Now only if we can get Godzilla back into gear after the crap de filme which is Godzilla 98 (the Devlin/Emmerich version) we will be on a roll....

"Here's the latest press release from Playmates Toys. This is meant for "media" outlets, so the
quotes are definitely aimed at the business side o' things, but we figured you'd like to read it.
=O) "

THEY'RE BACK! PLAYMATES TOYS LAUNCHES ALL-NEW TEENAGE MUTANT
NINJA TURTLES TOYS
New action figures and vehicles to hit retail shelves January '03

COSTA MESA, CA, October 17, 2002 - PLAYMATES TOYS INC. today announced the
"shellacious" return of the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES to the action figure scene. The
original heroes in a half-shell - Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael - are back,
bigger, bolder and badder than ever!

Playmates' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys will hit retail shelves nationwide starting in January
2003. First out-of-the-shell will be newly designed action figure collection, each with authentic
Ninja weapons, and an awesome variety of vehicles, role-play weapons and playsets to follow
later in the year.

"Playmates sold over 245 million Ninja Turtle action figures back in the early '90s," said Lou
Novak, President of Playmates Toys Inc. "And what made the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a
success 10 years ago is still valid today. There's a whole new generation of kids to enthrall with
the unique story of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo." Novak continued.

In a full-blown marketing effort, Playmates partners, 4Kids Entertainment and Mirage Studios
Inc., will launch an all-new, animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series on The Fox Box,
starting in February 2003. The season kicks off with 26 new half-hour episodes on Saturday
mornings that will feature "hot" new music and all new action packed animation. The combination
of humor and action that made the Turtles so unique and successful before is now taken to a
whole new level for today's kids.

Also adding to the on-air exposure - January 2003 marks the beginning of two new Playmates
Toys kids TV advertising campaigns. Spots supporting the new TV series and products will
begin airing on January 3, and continue throughout the year on The Fox Box, and other kid
networks.

"In order to capture and communicate the essence of the Turtles brand, Playmates, 4Kids and
Mirage will deliver a comprehensive message to kids via numerous platforms including
broadcast, print, home video and DVD releases, Online, and other media." commented Jill Will,
Senior Vice President, Marketing, for Playmates Toys.

And for the collectors who grew up with the Turtles in the '90s, Playmates Toys will release a 12"
Deluxe scale, cold cast resin sculpture of Leonardo (the first of four Turtles), based on artwork
from the original comic book series. The 12" Leonardo figure will be available in December
through Diamond Comics. The figure comes with its own custom base, that is designed to fit
together to form a detailed diorama when combined with the other three sculptures in the series.

Tuesday's strip: A Girl, A Scarecrow and An Apology is now available.

Being that the road rage joke is a jab at my best friend Nate, (it's a PLAYFUL jab...) I'd figure it'd be best to at least say it in a jokingly mannor. Right?

Hope everyone's week is starting off well right now. If you haven't got a chance yet, you should definately check out the Cartoon Library with a listing of the cast from the original show way back in 1987. Scroll down for a link. It's interesting to see what your favorite voice actors look like!

See yah Friday, turtle fans!

--Nick

I've updated the Cartoon Library with a listing of the original 1987 cast of the animated series (plus Tony Jay, who played Lord Dregg later in the series), complete with mugs of the voice actors and the characters they played. If you have a better pic of a certain voice actor, let me know, and I'll replace the old one. Enjoy!

In a few days I actually got some e-mail. You have NO IDEA how happy this makes me to get e-mail from people who acknowledge that my strip exists, and further more, are fans of Mikey's Site, which Mike puts alot of hard work into. (it's nice to see yer friends get credit when it's due...)

But at any rate... I got some e-mails.

One asks me "Where the heck was Friday's strip?

Well it's late. Sorry about that. I was doing some networking which could help me secure a nice job. LOL it went well, but yeesh, i didn't forget about you guys.

And the second of of the two e-mails I recieved asked about, and this is a good question:

"you're a fan but yet it doesn't feature the turtles whats up with that"

Well to address this, as Mikey has it listed, it's the day in the life of a tmnt fan. But don't worry, I'm tryign to find a way to properly add it into the strip, but it's taking a bit long and hard to do so. ;-) And Sara, the name of the e-mailer, asks about the strip being late too.

Thanks to Sara, and 'Cheznut" for writing in to me.

And here it is, one day late. Sorry about that.
Interstate Road Rage is now available.

Also, Mike posted it on the mailing list, and in case anyone didn't see it, check it out: The 4kids Interview.

--peace out!

G4, is apparently an all Video Game Channel, basically showing previews of upcoming releases, demos, and major interviews with game creators.

Here's the skinny directly from the TMNT-L list...

~Ok, I didn't see this myself but Michael (who rarely actually hallucinates) claims to have seen a sneak preview of the new Konami TMNT game on "G4"-- an all games channel.
Anyone else get this channel?
~GW


Anyone who gets this channel able to confirm this for us?

I fooled you all, possibly. Prepare for (hopefully) a double dose of Dribble two times a week! But when you ask? Not Monday, Wednesday, or Thursdays, no it's Tuesdays and Fridays!!! ::laughs evily::

Enjoy!
