Thanks to everyone who came out to see us live in Minneapolis! Here's the audio of the show for everyone who couldn't make it. We discussed the Kazaam Novelization, another series by the author, read a Ninja Turtles parody Conor wrote in 4th grade, then were joined by Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett, and Sean Thomason for an epic round of Real or Fanfic. Some of the visual aids we used there are posted below.

I really hope we get a chance to read about the “bad” Santa paws books

A so called "black and white boom" in comics started with the release of TMNT #1 in May 1984. (because it was cheaper for smaller publishers to print runs of a few thousand in black and white instead of color ink) With an original print run of only 3,000 copies, TMNT #1 became ridiculously popular for an independent comic, that and soaring circulation and soaring back-issue prices were bound to breed imitators. All sorts of books attempting to capture the buzz of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flooded comic distributors and eventually the shelves of comic specialty stores, a feeding frenzy of speculation was unleashed. Enthusiastic comic amateurs started pitching any high concept or parody that came into their brains and fly-by-night publishers rushed them onto already bloated release schedules with reckless abandon. (which would eventually lead to the inevitable "black & white bust" a few years later). There were quite a few comics that were just straight-up ripoffs of TMNT or "parodies" with titles like "Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters" or "G.I. Jackrabbits" and so on. The Comics Journal magazine at one point published a list of these TMNT knockoff/"parody" comics during this 80s boom that filled a whole page. (Most of these comics and their publishers were very short-lived). Which is a long way of getting to the point that Connor's parody of the TMNT cartoon was at about the same level as the print TMNT parodies from that 80s era that I've seen.
