cowabunga, a pizza truck!

according to this journal entry, i took a turn toward inactivity, moving from "played" ninja turtles to "watched" ninja turtles. apparently, however, i didn't watch closely enough to wrap my head around the ins and outs of shredder's costume.



this illustration is unique in that i actually know exactly which episode of the cartoon it's based on. thanks to a burger king promotion, my family owned a VHS tape of "sky turtles," in which gravity is reversed, causing buildings to break apart and float away (pictured), so the turtle boys were forced to take to their personal blimp.

thanks to the VHS tape, making ninja turtles available 24 hours a day, i experienced more viewings of "sky turtles" (along with the BK promo where KidVid walks off the drafting table) than any other episode.
