Turtle Soup: The Ongoing Journey of The TMNT, From the Beginning.
Writing these blogs can be awesome when you really have something to say. However, they can be mystifying if your mind is running up blanks. Politics? Nothing of note. Funny stories? They're in the podcast. Show news? Wait... I got it! OUR NEW CONTEST! Now, you may ask yourself, who won the last one? Remember, the turtle naming one? Well, honestly, we don't know. All of the suggestions were awesome, but we got so wrapped up in trying to get the show current and dealing with the incredible delay of releasing episodes well after we recorded them, that we kind of lost track. Not to mention I haven't seen the turtles in my pool for a while now. Hope they're okay.The new contest, however, is legit. What are the stakes? Well, you could win a copy of Mirage Vol.1, #8, my friends. All one must do is visit the the Facebook page and caption a funny frame we pulled from one of the 4 TMNT Adventures we covered in this episode. Check out the page and submit your wit! On this 26th episode of the podcast we cover Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Vol.1, #19 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures (Ongoing) #1-4. Also, we discuss the new wave of TMNT figures coming soon, some practical joking that went down concerning a false pregnancy scare, the Tampa Con overcrowding disaster and the resulting exploits of Merle Haggler himself!DOWNLOAD: Episode 26 - Jessica Hahn and the Slash for Cash....
