“Lloyd Goldfine sent me this image a couple of days ago. It’s something he and the crew at 4Kids worked up as a possible poster for the “Turtles Forever” animated special. I think it’s pretty darn cool… and I surely wouldn’t mind one hanging on my wall.”

– Peter Laird

Recently GoGreenMachine.org held a "I Didn't Go to Comic Con-Test" where the contestant had to write up about a one page story about why they couldn't go to comic con this year. The catch was the story had to be made up, fiction can be fun.

I decided to throw my name into the contest and write up a story. Little did I know a few weeks later I would be named one of three winners of a spectacular prize package.

Here is what I got...

Thanks again! This is one awesome prize!

Finally, here is the story that got me into the contest to begin with.

Well, where can I begin? There were a number of reasons why I could not make it to Comic Con this year but one particular event lingers in my mind and forever haunts me.

It all started while I was on my way home from work. It was a nice, pleasant drive down through the corn fields of Missouri. I was cruising at about 60 miles per hour when I came upon what looked liked a turned over 18 wheeler. My gut was turning and my heart was racing. I knew something was wrong and I just felt the urge to rush over and make sure everyone was alright. Of course the mess was bigger than I expected. Upon reaching the door of the cab I found myself shuffling through some odd glowing ooze. It didn�ft burn my skin or anything like that but rather gave it a nice soft baby's bottom feeling. Plus it smelt a little like tropical rain shampoo. Ask my wife how I know that... Anyways, after making my way through this stuff that was spilling out of the truck I reached up to the cab and pulled open the door. I seen that the driver was physically okay but he had a couple bumps on his head and was somewhat delirious. I asked him his name and he replied Oscar. I then said Oscar, we got to get you out of here, can you move? He replied that he thought he could and I helped get him out of the cab. With Oscar using my shoulder as support I helped limp him over to safety. Both of us now covered with this weird ooze waiting for the ambulance to show up. We stood there shoulder to shoulder probably for about 3 minutes before the paramedics arrived. When Oscar started to head over to the ambulance I felt a tight tug on my arm. Without realizing it I just thought Oscar was wanting me to follow him, but what I didn�ft realize at that moment was that that strange ooze bonded our skin together. At that time the fire fighters also arrived and started hosing down the scene, washing away any evidence of the mysterious ooze with their fire hoses. The paramedics were shocked and dumbfounded by what had happened to our skin. They made no attempt to separate us. So instead of going home to register for the 2009 Comic Con I instead went to the hospital with Oscar to find out what had happened to us.

So after weeks of testing and unfortunately unsuccessful probing... I am sitting here on the couch with Oscar by my side. In the weeks past I have learned a lot about this 6'4, 376lbs man. For starters he really is not a fan of the Turtles. I know, what a shame it is. He said he would rather watch NASCAR and the T.V. version Talladega Nights on TBS, over, and over, and over again. I begged him to go to Comic Con with me but he refused calling it unfortunate for me. My wife has since left me because of how this bum acts while eating. He insists on blending all of his food together in the food processor before eating it. He says it helps keep him regular. His bathroom habits I'd rather not mention and is no treat to experience. He seriously reads an entire issue of Guns and Ammo while sitting there on the porcelain thrown. And my literature? Well besides being asked what's it bout? every 2 minutes, if Oscar doesn't like what I am reading he makes me read The Radicalism of the American Revolution by Gordon Wood. Why? I have no idea. He falls asleep during the first couple of sentences.

Aside from the fact that I no longer have a wife, this poor excuse of DNA has caused me to miss the TMNT cartoons every Saturday morning since the accident, the 25th Anniversary TMNT Tour stop here in St. Louis, and the 2009 Comic Con. So here I am, telling you my story of why I missed out this year. I am sure TMNT will be there again, but not in an event as spectacular as a 25th Anniversary. I know why the Turtles help out defenseless citizens, and I thought I could do the same and show some good to the world, but now, well now I am just a mutated fanboy, attached to someone who looks like Bebop and smells like Rocksteady and has no appreciation for the Turtles.

This is my first autograph from Peter Laird. I was stoked last night when I received it. I sent Mr. Laird a personal letter thanking him for creating the TMNT and how much they meant to me. I included a print of his first Ninja Turtle drawing and he graciously signed the print and mailed it back...

THANKS PETER LAIRD!!!

Listen Here

Got this linked passed over to me and felt ya'll should give it a listen. Pretty good questions and it's always a treat to hear who Eastman's favorite turtle is...

As many fans are waiting on the official release date of the new TMNT Forever Animated DVD an official release is not slated as of yet but here is what we pulled from NinjaTurtles.com


We're getting plenty of questions about when the "TMNT Forever" film will be released on DVD, and right now the answer is - we don't know. Mirage and 4Kids are seeking a distributor for the project - as soon as we find one, we'll let ya know. It's a phenomenal piece of animation that we can't wait for everyone to see - so rest assured that everyone involved is doing their best to get the movie in stores ASAP.


So it looks like it might be a few more weeks before we actually hear of something... We will be sure to keep you posted...

Knowing how much I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this summer my lovely wife thought it would be a lot of fun to check out TMNT at the St. Louis Science Center. It was a lot of fun and there couldn’t have been a better way to spend such a nice day. I was however a little disappointed that only Leonardo and April O’Neal was there but one turtle is better than no turtles! Check out the pictures below and if you want to catch the turtles in your town head on over to www.tmnt25.com and see when they will be in your neck of the woods next…
