Hey Mike! THAT is the animation I saw!! AWESOME you found the link!

I just wanna say sorry about this post, but sadly Dribble for Kids: The blackout part 3 won't be up till Sunday. Real Life has hopped in the way of things and.... well... hope to see you then!

Thanks for understanding! Any complaints you may have, send to nick@dribbleforkids.com and i'll take em head on.

-Nick

Yes, TMNT fan art is heading to every venue imaginable... Here's an awesome 3D animation directed by Floyd Bishop and his production team at Ice Pond Studio. He had this to say about it: "Here you can see a quicktime of a test we did for Mirage Publishing and 4Kids Entertainment. The test was completed from start to finish under the unbelievable constraints of just two weeks."

-->> ..just thought i'd share with the fellow 'Harry Pot-heads' ..


.. older design i think by MIRAGE/TMNT Mainstay..

. >v<

Along with a brand new Dribble for Kids strip, there are some updates to the site as well... I have added pics from the new TMNT toon on its page located in the screens section. I've also cleaned up a few things, and even added a page specifically for Fan Comics. If you look in the Features section, you'll see it. There's also new banners and buttons that you can use to link to us. Also got a new cam pic up... At least I was productive on my sick day... ::returns to shelter of blanket::

Tuesday's Strip is now available.

All I'm gonna say is, I've always wanted to say Humpdahladi" alot. So... why not?

Wellll I know I shouldn't do this and this is unknown to Mike, this is more for my site, BUT... this is just a sample of what kind of stuff u get on the mailing list for my comic strip. Yeeup, I'm doing a contest. A contest I tell you, and I'm gonna offer it to all youse out there in TMNT land!

You can win an Interstate: Road Rage ash Grey T-Shirt if you can answer this question correctly.

The Question: “Despite never being directly said, which of the “Dribble for Kids” characters likes felines? "

Possible Answers:
Nick
Nate
Drew
Ashley

Here’s how it works! Send me in the right answer to nick@dribbleforkids.com , and the first two will win a “Interstate: Road Rage” T-Shirt. Winners will be announced next Tuesday! The latest answers can be received by Friday!

IF there is a large outpour of correct answers, then I will place the correct answers, and your e-mail addresses in a bowl and choose two!

Good luck!

Now remember Mike had no knowledge of me doing this so no one bother poor Mike and go "How do I win a shirt" etc. I'll announce the winners as soon as I get them, so it will end the confusion! Now, not to sound egotistical, but you can even get them signed by moi! :-D ANYWAYS.....
(plug plug plug)
If you'd like to be open to great contests and bonus strips, sign up to the mailing list by contating me at
nick@dribbleforkids.com if u wanna join.

Okay enough plugs. Anyway, there is a cool link out there, i'm gonna try to find it and post it, but it's a 3-D TMNT movie, of Raph running from mousers! And it ROCKS!

Until then or until Friday...

--Nick

I just want to say to whoever hacked the site and changed the index page... That was really rude. I don't like you.

Friday's Strip is now available.

Now maybe I'm alone in the world, but most people, at least un-sheltered people have HEARD of this movie, the LAst Starfighter. In Blackout, there is a reference, to an on-line friend of mine didn't get. Her stance on things is no one really knows of this movie. But go ahead and write her at this addy here and let's see what she says.

Now don't forget to say that I sent you to her so she can crucify me not you. LOL.

One more plug for the mailing list: Hit me at nick@dribbleforkids.com if u wanna join.

Apparently my little thing with Tokka in some small way helped! Even if it didn't and Tokka stayed and kept the KriB up for other reasons, let me just say I'm very glad. Glad you stayed, buddy! :-)

Okey dokey. I need to get to bed. I'm tired.

Howdy... Just wanted to let everyone know there have been a few TMNT sightings in magazines these past few days. The article in Toyfare is fairly detailed about the new toys!! If you are interested in seeing the articles or whatever, check out the forum here. Discuss if you'd like. :D

Tuesday's Strip is now available. If you wanna join the mailing list, the way to join as of right now is to e-mail me at nick@dribbleforkids.com and give me a buzz.

If you join the list, hopefully by December 1rst, every update I make to the site, you'll get a letter chock full of creamy and pure dribble-ish goodness, such as special treats only for those on the mailing list, like comic strips, links of the week and behind the scenes poop on some of that stuff, then the mailing list is definately something you may wish to join. The addy again is nick@dribbleforkids.com. If you do join, please remember that this thing won't be up and going till the beginning of next month hopefully, so... ;-)

In other news... I'm not exactly sure what happened or is going to happen if it hasn't already, but go drop Tokka a line and tell him how much you love Tokka's KriB. Seriously. The guy mentioned taking it down for some reason. Come on, Tokka, don't take it down! we love yah, buddy!

Also, the fan-art section is way out there! Major props to Boxcutter and of course, Mikey for his fabulous fan-art, and anyone else I may of not seen their name attached to!

Okay, so a quick recap.

Save Tokka's KriB

Tuesday's Strip

Awesome. Go forth into the world, young ninja padwans and fulfill your quest!

--Nick

Hi all! I just wanted to let you all know that I've updated some pages on the site. Specifically, the Fan Art Page is now up and running. Considering the nominations for the Fan Art Awards are going on, I thought it best to make it easy to find the art work. It's filed under Fun Stuff. I've dissolved the Media page as that name was pretty misleading. From now on, the stuff you are looking for most will be on the Fun Stuff page, ie. galleries, music, games, computer stuff...

That's about it for now... have fun!

-->> ..lil' gems..

Nick..what a sweet guy.. aww..
..one little small update.. but very cool.. on the "OFFISH TMNT" site..
..the TMNT handhelds..were some of the c00lest little d00-dads..
and i still pick 'em up now and then to see if i can kill Krang or save April. They just were goofy little LCD games.. but they were
actually pretty tuff.. and while.."DOO DEE DOO DEE DOO DOO".. ya kept tryin ta get past all the little repetative bad guys or basket balls.. these little games could bring you to your knees or get you so GAWDDAMM mad you's want to throw them across the room n' hope it'd hit yir head board on the bed n' shatter to a million..iddy bitty .. peices that you would maticulously pick up.. one by one and slowly proceed to the paper-shredder and make sure that every lil' last evident shard was totally destroyed cuz it was
just so durn frustrating to get thru the d4mm little things.. . . . . . .. hehheehheeh.. sh00t me.. >v<

Friday's strip is now available.

Before I continue, thanks for the many kind words tokka! Also, I love the KriB, tokka. Can't wait till it's completely refinished.

Um, the link escapes me as of right now, but they published the new look of Baxter, Saki, Shredder and the Purple dragons on the TMNT website.

I've been so busy saying thanks and tellin yah of stuff, my main thing is... this week's strip, features a TMNT! Finally! So head over and give it a view. It starts a cool storyline I think, and it will be neat!

Okay, I need to get back to chattin away with Amandatello before I have to go to bed... so enjoy the strip and I'll see you Tuesday! COWABUNGA!

K.I.S.S. nuthin as comlex as G. Simmons' make up .. .. my p0p always said..K.I.S.S...
"Keep It Simple,Stupid" . t0kK never really did.. the KriB is a good example of a Web site out of control.. ..and i'm fried.. 'tOkKa'Z KriB.. started out as a possible alternative 'Ninja Turtles' fan site from a character I greatly admired..
..that was all i guess..
..but over the past 3 years it grew into a monster and n0w it is it's own beast..
..i'm afraid the prior is no longer applicable.
If i can make it.. the KriB will be cleaning up.. the next few days are the first step.. .. while the 'Ninja Turtles' are at the heart of the KriB and t0KkA is the soul.. it's more than a fan site ..plus.. ..it's all i've really had as far as exposure to TMNT fans and just wonderful people in general. tOkK's KriB is what it is..& i will do the best i can to keep things central to the KriB and affiliates..as far site navigation ..but will keep with whatever chaotic things folks fer some reason get drawn to I can no longer maintain the pure insanity of Homestead's server and the b8ll sh2t of shotty service with a smile. I pay fer KriB with what few $$ i make.. i've not ever asked for handouts from people to support it.. .. n0t that it's a super issue ,for KriB hardly ever recieved the traffic of here at and the wondeful folks at X-E. I will focus on all the things that i have at KriB before.. but i will do my best to implore for assistance from some very special people. t0kK is extremly dark right n0w.. 3 years ago..this week..t0KkA'z KriB.. came into some sort of exsistance.. and things for me & t0KkA have not really been the same.. simple my ar5e .. >v<

Hello everyone.

This Tuesday's strip is now available.

While I knew I wanted to do a gag/joke at a bar, my past weekend's events was partialy inspired by such.

Also, I was digging thru some stuff and found some old TMNT drawings I did. Some are sketches I did which would further lead me or help me write the fan fic novella “Clan of the Turtle” which is featured on this very site!

For those who are a bit in the dark on such, “Clan of the Turtle” is my bridge between Mirage and Image. Sort of a what if Image got their act together, and how, personally, I think they could of made good stories with the crap they sorta flung at us. (Again, this is my, one fan’s opinion, and yeah, I DO like Image to some degree so I’m not an Image Comics Version playa hata…) I clear up a few loose ends, and create all new ones, which will be taken care of eventually. (What can I say, I’m dramatic…) Learn who the Lady Shredder really is, what the cyborg Donatello really feels about his situation, and what the last brother of the so called “curse”, Michaelangelo, would expierence. (Raph got his face blasted, Leo lost a hand, Don a cyborg…)

Okay, enough plugging away there, and hope you enjoy the novella and the comic strip!

Until Friday! Later gang!

--Nick

Greetings space cadets! Er Witches! Er, whatever you were for Halloween....
perhaps a turtle of the Mutant Ninja Variety? Hope so!

At any rate.  While I know this would of been a PERFECT time for this to
use my strip to promote my TMNT fandom, this strip was actually completed.... a
month or so ago when Kingdom Hearts
was released for PS2.  My obsession
with the game completely took me over to the point that I didn't draw
anything for a week or so. (I try to draw all my strips like two weeks in
advance in case Real Life/RL gets the better of me... and I'm prepared.
;-)  )  So I've had this
strip, inked and everything waiting to be published.  And with
Halloween coming up, I thought what a perfect time to do such a thing!

In a perfect world, this Christmas, I'll be making a special edition
Christmas version of "Dribble for Kids" in which I'll tackle my TMNT
fandom head on.  cos I still get questions every once and awhile...
"Why doesn't your strip talk alot about the TMNT, or even, at
all?"  It will. It will my friends. Indeed it will. ::evily laughs::
er um, uh-hem. 

Anyway.

This week again really is a Video Game joke, based on whether or not you know
the designs for the Sora character from Kingdom
Hearts.  It's more a simple idea of, if you know what the original
design of Mickey Mouse looks like, and mix his clothes with a small boy, or if
you visit the Kingdom Hearts website,
it should all make sense. Hopefully.

Alright, enough of my blabbering, turtle-fans!  Let's get to the gravy,
shall we?  Here is this week's strip, "Firggin'
Clownshoes." Enjoy!

PS
Can I say they look DARN AWESOME!!! (see below...)

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.

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.

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!

Enjoy!

..GUZZI LEMANS GN by Jim Lawson; cover by Michael Dooney The year 2046 is not the future that we would wish for out children and grandchildren. But rather it is a dark place. Where America's cities have been abandoned, in favor of a safer, more secure model of society –– on the government farms. However, all were not invited. The aftermath of the recent wars had left the country a barren wasteland. It is out there that the others live –– those deemed unworthy of civilization's new start. These are the deviants and bikers. This is the world of Guzzi Lemans. SC, 120pg, b&w $9.95 ..out in November!!

CBS Market Watch reports that "... some investors must like what they see on the Saturday morning tube. The 4Kids outfit has "Kirby," "Fighting Foodons" and other packages on the Fox Kids network. What's in the pipeline may be enticing new investors into the company's stock.

"On the spring schedule is "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," which 4Kids is co-producing. For those who see Turtles as a 15-year-old has-been, read my lips. Kids are digging the turtles today as much as they were when the concept debuted in the 1980s."

Basically, 4Kids stock is up... and for good reason. Yu-Gi-Oh, Fighting Foodons, Kirby, and TMNT are hot commodities for kids (especially this coming holiday season). The 4Kids team has video-game, licensing and toy pacts with Mattel, Konami, Nintendo and others.

"Terra Lycos, the operator of the Lycos Internet search engine, just reported the term 'Yu-Gi-Oh' was the ninth most popular across user searches for the week ending Sept. 21. The top one was - no, not Martha Stewart -- 'Dragonball.'" So, obviously, kids have a lot of power over this market. How much popularity (and profit) will it gain once the TMNT debut in the spring?!

Word from Dan is that TMNT #6 is on it's way to the printers and with a bit of luck, it will be in stores by the third or fourth weeks of October!! Wooo, can't wait!

I got a double Whammy! I've been thinking of a normal schedule for comic strips, and it is either Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Monday, Wednesday, or Monday, Friday. But at any rate, here are two new strips.

In Part 1 of The Love Letter, someone is taking a nap and his secret 'love letter' is found.

In part 2 of The Love Letter, the same person really needs to get a life. Maybe they've been listening to "My Best Friend's Wedding" soundtrack a bit too much.

Well, hello there... I guess by now you've noticed something different about the site. Yup, the whole thing is different again. Welcome to Version 4.7!! I hope navigation is a bit simpler. There are still many bugs in it, but I hope to have these cleared up within the next couple of days. Lots of changes, but also lots of new material is coming soon! I'm working hard on adding much more to the site, to satisfy all your TMNT needs :D ... Take a look around and have fun.

-->> & ..on a weird related 'FOX BOX' note..
..about 2 hours ago i was in the local 'Toys R' Us' store..buyin' my neice her b-day present..i'd noticed a week or so prior they had some left-over 'Fox Box' promos..so i was able to pick up a few extra ..seein' as how the lady packed my bag with one & didn't even care that i picked up another..apperently there was some epidemic with a VHS video tape that was to be included as part of the promo & all over the U.S. ..kids were not gettin' the videos with the Promo Box. As I was checking out with my neice's Scooby Doo gift..i noticed all the registers had lil' red boxes stacked on them..bein' curious n' t00 tired ta give a flippin' fad00dle what the clerk thought..i picked up the box ..sh0' nuff.. it was the video from the promo.
So i snagged a few.. raced slow as a Turtle home (i'm tired ya know) ta fast forward to the less than 40 second TMNT cartoon ad..(the same one ya saw online)..so just a heads up to ya geeky TMNT completests.. yir local 'Toys R' Us' may have some videos on thier shelves just for you to complete yir 'Fox Box' set.. apperently n0 foxes were harmed in the filiming of the video. ..>v<

I know several of us have known about the video games for a while now, but finally, Dan at ninjaturtles.com has posted the official press release:

4Kids Entertainment Signs Konami to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Video Game Pact Konami Back as Exclusive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Video Game Creator/Publisher Tuesday September 10, 9:07 am ET

Whacha think about those new figures?

Cool beans, eh? I think so too.

I'm acutally pumped about a toy line for once, since like, I was 13 or so. Wow, I think that the new series will be great for our fab foursome! Well either way, I got another surprise! Another Dribble For Kids is here, and surprisingly enough, it's not three months between my last update!

This strip deals with my lack of focus, which we all aquire at some point, on our lack of reading through our stuff, such as resumes, or what not, before we send them out and about into the world.

Check it out here!

Sorry I've been so late in posting this, but it looks like there are more pics of prototypes of the Brand new TMNT action figures!! Shredder over at http://www.ninjaturtlesnetwork.com/ managed to find out about action-figure.com's showcase of the new figures. Go there to see bigger pics, but here they are as well... Youll notice these guys are just really updated poses of their original models... they even have the same skin tones as before.

TMNT movies 2 and 3 are available on DVD NOW! Buy em!!

In leiu (sp?) of me not being lazy for once, here is a dribble for kids comic strip! Hopefully... just hopefully... I can keep this up slowly but surely, eh?

The new TMNT show looks real kick ass, and I am proud to be a TMNT fan. Not to go on a tangent here, but let me just say, I've been saying do the Batman:TAS look for along time, and if you don't believe me, you can ask poor Mikey, (the charming fellow who runs this site) who I bug at around 3 to 5 in the morning, now granted this was a few years ago when Batman was still on with new episodes, but still, I grumbled, moaned and complained, this was the future of the TMNT in the cartoon world. And look! I was right! Yay! Dark, edgier, and yet, still our favorite fab four! Let's keep it green and I hope you enjoy the strip! Also, I think TMNT ish 5 came out, so enjoy that too!

Well, I am back from San Diego Comic-Con International 2002. There are a lot of things to said about this year's convention, but not a lot of time to say everything at once. So let me first offer you an update in the Events section of the site. Here you'll find an article about the ever-elusive Leonardo Cold-Cast Statue. Click below:

http://www.mikeystmnt.com/events/

Thanks to all those who are in constant support of a TMNT Cartoon DVD!!! Yesterday DVDToons.com announced that, after speaking with Artisan Entertainment, the company confirmed a 2003 release for the series. Read the full article here... http://www.dvdtoons.com/news/174

Re-broadcasting of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series can be seen on WB Channel 20 at 7:00 AM weekdays in the Pineville, Kentucky area! Catch em if you're in the area!

Gosh I wish I was heading out to San D! Whenever I get a full time job in Radio, and get settled down a bit more, and get some green, I'm hopping out there to partake in the cool stuff! I really want a Raphael statue! ::sobs::

At any rate, again, I know some of this stuff is old jokes, everyone has had a stab at them, but... hey, It's been a while since I updated, and during a long period of time, alot of ideas never hit the site until now. ;-) so here is an old ode to Bush.

Junior.

Enjoy!

Here's a special sneak peak on the new cold-cast figure by Playmates.
This pic along with a few others were featured on today's Blast From the Past...

JUST IN: Interview with TMNT creator KEVIN EASTMAN was performed through e-mail on June 10, 2002, and responded to on July 8, 2002. The subject of this interview is the status of upcoming TMNT projects, including the new and upcoming TMNT ventures, and Artobiography by Kevin Eastman.

http://www.mikeystmnt.com/events/eastman.htm

Finally got another Dribble for Kids up.

For those wondering the narrator is no more. He has cease to be. (which is sad, cos I was all tooting my horn about him returning and stuff...) have any probs with this (which I'm doubting any of you do...) then write me at NArgan@aol.com

This is an old idea I had batting around for a long time. (it's very very dated as u can see when you read it...) but it sorta takes a stab at this summer's first big blockbuster. Anyway, keep it green folks and cowabunga says it all!

TheDigitalBits.com has released cover art for the upcoming released of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequels...

I have added a new section to the Image Galleries... Now there will be a section devoted solely to the covers of the comic books. So far all that's up is the regular run of the Archie Adventure Series. But believe me, after scanning and color correcting around 70 comics, and creating nav pages for em, that's enough for one night... er morning. Anyway, I hope you enjoy em!

http://www.mikeystmnt.com/media/gallery/comics/index.htm

From metaltv.com:

"With phenomenal resurgence and the big screen success of legendary comic characters like, "SPIDERMAN," "X-MEN," and "BLADE" already, with "DAREDEVIL," "HULK," and "HELLBOY" in the pipeline, now would be the time to make this body of work available to the serious art collector." says Eastman, "Besides, the Turtles have also begun their own trek back, as 4Kids Entertainment , and Fox have just announced their commitment to 26 new half hour animated shows for 2003 where they'll reinvent the heroes - I'm going to offer the original real deal."

Example of Eastman layouts, in this case pages 26 and 27
Priced at 0NE MILLION DOLLARS the collection will include; all the original detailed pencil page layouts, all forty of the original Eastman and Laird pen and inked pages, the original black and white wrap around cover, and a selection of Eastman's hand colored pages for the full color graphic novel.

Private personal showings may be scheduled. The artworks are currently housed in Western Massachusetts. Direct all inquiries to:
kestudios@yahoo.com

The sale of the original art from the book that revolutionized the American Comic Geek Dream, is truly a unique opportunity for the right millionaire collector, or institution to acquire this superlative example of contemporary American art.

Anyone got a million bucks sittin' around??

TMNT #4 OUT NOW!! Grab it before it's too late!

From Peter Laird in TMNT Vol. 4, #4:

"... I've been having almost daily conversations with Lloyd Goldfine, the head writer on the TMNT animated show project at 4Kids, and reviewing and commenting on outlines and scripts. It's getting busy! And it looks like we're going to be getting the seconddraft of the Hallmark TV two-parter in a few days. ... It's exciting!"

THIS JUST IN!!!

Turtle-fan extraordinaire ROSEANGELO just offered these bits of news pertaining to the NEW TMNT SERIES!!!

*Mark your calander for January 25th, 2003, when the new TMNT series debut's on Fox's "Fox Block"

*New figures will be shipping at the end of December

*And the Turtles no longer drive a "Party Van," they now got themselves a truck :-)

This information comes from a very reliable source at Playmates Toys.
"That's all I got ... everything else he tried to tell me I already knew 8-)"

This just in from Mirage webmaster Dan Berger:

Howdy folks!

I'm back from vacation and Mirage C.E.O. Gary Richardson is back from the New York Licensing Show... so there's a bit o' news to tell.

First off, we've hit a snag with printing TMNT #4 - we hope that it will be out on June 26, but there's a chance we'll miss that by a week. Argh!

On to the news!

First off, the limited edition cold-cast porcelain TMNT statues are definitely going to be produced by Playmates Toys! I'll have some pix of the initial sculpture up on the site this week. Turtle Guru Peter Laird has already posted some on his "Blast from the Past" page if you wanna see 'em now:

http://www.planetracers.com/blast/blast60.html

Scroll down to peep 2 pix!

Leonardo will be the first of four pieces. As I noted last time, each statue will be on a base and each base will interconnect to form one big diorama.
The statues will be painted. Playmates plans to take orders for the statues at this year's San Diego Comic Con ( http://www.comic-con.org ) at Diamond Comic Distributors' booth through Diamond Select. The price range will be in the $100-150 range. Currently we're still discussing the edition number, but it's definitely planned to be a very limited release. The second figure (no decision on who it'll be yet), will be out around Christmas of 2003.

The Licensing Show itself went extremely well and the Turtles were the hit of the week! Gary and 4Kids spoke with tons of old school licensees who are lining up to get involved with TMNT 2K3! Expect to see a bit of nifty new Turtles merch in the first quarter of 2003 to coincide with the release of the new show and action figure line.. and then a flood of Turtly goodness should be available by Christmas of 2K3!

Unfortunately the video game contracts haven't been fully worked out yet, but we hope to have the scoop on the new games next month. We know - the wait is killin' us, too! =O)

News regarding the new TV series:

We've gotten in the TMNT story bible, which defines the direction that the show will take, the characters that will appear and the plot synopses for the first season. It's great stuff that will be both warmly familiar and cooly surprising! We're very excited about 4Kids' devotion to make the new TMNT cartoon the best ever - and from what we've seen so far, we're confident this will be the case! Whether you're an old school comics fan, original Turtle toon fan, or brand new to the TMNT altogether, this show will have something for you to dig! The animation studio that has been signed up has worked on the "Men in Black" and "Jackie Chan" toons (to name but two), so ya know that the animation will be some of the best to be seen on Saturday morning television!

Characters that will be appearing: the four original Turtles, Master Splinter, Aril, Casey Jones, The Shredder, The Foot and Baxter Stockman - sure, there's more - but some stuff has to be a surprise. =O)

That's it from the hallowed halls of Mirage for now!

Cheers!

Here are quite a few updates in the TMNT world. I meant to post this a few days ago, but blogger was down so I didn't get around to doing it until today:

Mirage C.E.O. Gary Richardson just got back from a frantic but exciting week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo and had some news for us!

We expect to announce the software company that will be producing the new TMNT video games sometime around June 10-14. Development time for a game on the new platforms (PS2, Gamecube, X-Box) is currently around 18 months - so the game won't be out for quite some time. It's possible that a game for Gameboy will come out before that 18 month cycle - but it's not a sure bet by any means. We'll have more definitive info on publisher and platforms in a few weeks!

In toy news, there's a possibility that some extremely limited edition cold cast statues of the TMNT will be released over the next year (in editions of roughly 500-1,000). The plan is to take the image from TMNT volume 1 #1 page 1 of the Turtles and make each into an individual statue with a base - the bases will interconnect to form a diorama.

Here's a link to the page to check out the image being discussed:
http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage/one/pg01.htm

The tentative plan is for the first statue to come out at the Comic-Con in San Diego this summer, the second is to be released around the winter Holidays, the third to appear around the time that the new cartoon debuts, and the fourth to arrive at next year's San Diego Comic-Con. These statues may be done as serious and expensive collectibles - so the retail price will be roughly $99.00 per figure. Yowza! It's not a definite plan yet - but it's something that's on the drawing board.

In the words of the illustrious Partners in Kryme, "Gimme a quarter. I need a reporter. " The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming to DVD with the re-release of the first film and releases of the second and third films from New Line Home Entertainment this September.
The simple tale of the ninja turtles is a tale as old as time. Turtles are exposed to radioactive ooze and turn into crime-fighting ninjas. Throughout three movies Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael fight Shredder and other baddies to save the world for pizza eating folks like you and me.
All three films will be shown in both anamorphic widescreen and fullscreen and will contain trailers and filmographies.
All three titles will thrash onto DVD on September 3rd, and will be priced at $14.95 each.

From: http://www.dvdreview.com/html/news.html

Kevin Eastman is also releasing a hardcover sketchbook of his TMNT works. Kevin will be selling the book at the Heavy Metal booth at San Diego Comic Con International. Fellow artists and collaborators Simon Bisley and Luis Royo will also be there.

The TMNT is back! Soon! Yay!

Well for all those wondering, I did update, but... I had to vent abit on my thoughts on Episode 2, Attack of the Clones. May this be a good point for Hollywood and Rainbow Studios, John Woo, etc, that all any film needs, even a bad film... is heart.

Anyway, enjoy... and please don't you all kill me right away.

Get Some Senseless Dribble on Star Wars Episode 2....

I found this on the 4kidsentertainment.com website. It's an in-depth look at the action animation block on FOX Saturday mornings. Here's what is listed for the 10 am time slot:



The billion dollar phenomenon of the late 80s-early 90s returns first quarter 2003... But no one has ever seen TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES animation action like this. Meet the Supreme Green Fightin' Machine in an all new way! Accidentally mutated by strange glowing green ooze in the sewers of New York City, trained to become masters of the martial arts, the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES are ready to do battle with the crazed Shredder and a legion of formidable foes. But if you think you know the TMNT story, think again! Incredible martial arts action, laugh out loud humor and the coolest reptiles your ever going to meet! It's a whole new spin on a television classic. Get ready for the phenomenon to return... get ready for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!

Probably my BEST birthday present of all....

Again, here's an open call for WEBCAMS! If you have a webcam (rated pg-13) and would like to be noticed a bit.... here's your chance:
Email me your web address, cam pic address, and the name you'd like to be known by, and I'll post it to the Web Cam Portal

The Following is Based on a True Story.

The Names have been Changed in order to protect the stupid.

Read at your own risk.

I guess I forgot to mention that there is also another big update in the media section of the site. Yep, the Music is back. All mp3s should be functioning normally. Plus, there are several more... the entire soundtrack to the first movie is now available... however, I've kept the quality of these files pretty low. They still sound pretty good though.

There are also four new desktops. I think they look pretty cool... I hope you do too!

Enjoy!

Oh and the forums are getting more and more popular daily. I'm glad I've done a little more to help bring the online TMNT community together. Thanks for using them, guys!

I just wanted to let you know that last night I added 10 desktop wallpapers.. each are available in 2 sizes (1024x768 and 800x600). I also added an RGB color guide for each one...

You know how every time you change your dektop, the background color that shows on the icons never matches the wallpaper? Well, if you want it to match, go to "Appearance" on your desktop properties, and select the Background color. Choose to create a custom color.

This will give you the windows system pallette where you can add your own color. Just input the RGB values I've supplied for each wallpaper, and you your background should blend pretty well with the wallpaper.

Right now, you can't access the page through the main media page because of a stupid coding error on my part. But if you follow the above link, you'll get there. Hopefully, you all like these desktops, I made them allll by myself :D

We've a major update here today... You asked for them, and you got them....FORUMS!

Don't hesitate; put them to use!!

There's a few different forums you can post to:
The Storm Drain -- Which is general TMNT discussion
Fan-fiction Recommendations -- Self-explanitory really... read a good fic? Post the url here!
Ninja Turtle Sightings! -- For those times when you're surfing on of those non-TMNT fansites, and up pops a Ninja Turtle.
Splinter's Swap Meet -- Specifically for people who are looking to trade or sell to expand their TMNT collections.
Pizza Party (Pre-teen Mutants) -- A forum especially for TMNT fans who are under 13. (Built to avoid having them exposed to our warped adult minds! :p)

So, have fun! Oh, and take note of our Community Chest! ;)

Furthermore, WebCAMS! Yup... we're all voyeurs at heart...
We've started a Webcam Portal, though it's pretty basic right now.

New Cams include: Mikey Falk, Dawnatello, and Mica! And there are more on the way...
Thanks for donating your precious faces, yall!
We're looking for more, so send em in! Make sure you include your name with your webcam link.

I went ahead and moved the Fan-fiction link to the main page to make it more noticeable... however, my plan kinda backfired... Since there isn't a HOME link on the menu on most of the content pages, you won't be able to click over to it from there... Just type in mikeystmnt.com to go back to the home page until I get it all fixed up.
With that...
We've got a few brand new fics on the fan-fiction page:
A Spooky Night in Disney's Haunted Mansion! by Scott Oliverson
E! The True Hollywood Story: The Ninja Turtles Chapter 2 by Centipede
Tis But A Glimpse… by Nick Arganbright
All can be found at http://www.mikeystmnt.com/fanfiction/index.htm, which also has an easier to read layout.

Dave b2 has also sent us a brand new edition of Penicillin on Your Pizza:

Thanks to James for sending us this link to The Small Press Magazine, which features an interview with Peter Laird! He talks about the new comic, the Xeric Foundation and Planet Racers...
Many creators have a character who acts as their voice in their stories. Do you have one?
"Probably Donatello," he said. "We're both geeks."

Also we've added Amandatello's Plushie Peril to the list of Fan Comics on the Conversations page... This is great new comic by this super-talented Aussie. Although, it's only one page now, I suggest you return for more as it develops... It's highly anticipated on my list ;)

And also thanks to Amandatello who, after seeing the great work done by Gabe from PennyArcade several days ago, let us in on his latest TMNT-related work: http://www.penny-arcade.com/tmnt3.jpg

That's all for now, kiddos... more soon!

And On the Eight Day, God said:
"Let there be a new Dribble For Kids."
In a little episode I like to call: Return of the Annoying Guy From The Bus or Spoons: The Article.
