we have seen that a good part of the audience is not only the parents with kids but young and adults without kids, so i hope kevin munroe can think of a movie rated pg 13.

-TMNT Box office stats for this week courtesy of Cyn ::

Cyn::"Okay-- as of this post, and if you look at this carefully, though the guys are in like 6th place-- TMNT is AHEAD of Meet the Robinsons in total box office-- and not that d4MM far behind Blades of Glory!


Of course, the weekend is almost here, and that will change... but STILL!!!


OH-- and as of Thursday, they've earned $41 million domestic and $50 million world-wide!!!! "




-From writin' wrangler, Jake Black..::



Jake::First things first, talked to Mirage, and they are pretty certain that the Donatello prequel comic will be in stores this week (..as of this past Wensday..~tOkK). It is a probable oversight on the Diamond ship list. One thing we know for certian, though, is that the April one I wrote WILL be in stores on Wednesday. I hope you all dig it. It's my favorite of all of them.


Emerald City Comic Con was a really good experience. The promoters did a great job making us feel welcome, and we sold almost all of the TMNT prints we had that were exclusive to the show. The cooled part for me, though, was meeting Jim Lawson, TMNT artist extrodinaire, and getting him to do a Karai sketch for me. .. .. .. "




- As i suspected..another TMNT beachtowel !! Sportin' Tooned-up Turtle movie graphiXX!! Also a lower price than the standard beachtowel. This 29" x 58" towel is about $5.99 compared to the first one that retails at about $10 or more.

- Thanks to Hero for the UK news !! :: "Fast Forward has now started to air in the UK on CITV (Sky Channel 624) weekday mornings at 9.25am.


An unexpected turnup considering I was previously informed that Fast Forward would air in September. This could also mean that later episodes might air in the UK first as with Transformers Cyberton when it was introduced on CITV with a weekday instead of weekly run.


The episode "Headlock Prime" will air tommorrow. "
