I thought the early 2000s "strong yet naked/mostly naked woman kept in her place by stronger, bigger, beast/monster or gang of racist caricatures" trope* was known by basically everyone but I mentioned it as a criticism of this older art book I'd flipped through recently to a friend and it turns out it isn't lol Maybe I've just read too many Heavy Metal issues... It used to be HORRIBLY inescapable in any sort of mature art scene back in the day lmao
*This trope is different from the pre-2000s one because the women usually look like they COULD fight back for at least a little bit whereas the previous trope had them be completely helpless damsels in distress
#textpost#And the damn apes. Why were there so many APES in art back then#I am so TIRED OF APES#'look at my drawing isn't it so quirky and funny. i have given the sassy stylized gorilla a naked human woman and sunglasses har har'#Ngl when the NFT thing started and I saw the ape one taking off it was instantly enemy number one because I am TIRED OF APES!!!#Not that every fictional or stylized ape is bad but there is a particular way they can be drawn where it makes me roll my eyes#Those NFTs are a prime example. They were absolutely drawing on the apes I loathe when designing those#I suppose these apes are parallel to that category of 'unintelligent and crude unkept representation of the reader/artist that still-#-hooks up with the smokin hot babe with the hourglass figure' trope#Which I also loathe#Probably this doesn't make any sense lol#I don't know how many of my followers on here shovel as much of this shit into their eyeballs as I do#Unfortunately sometimes the periodicals with such tropes that I so despise also occasionally have little gems between that make up for it#Wading through the Kevin Eastman+Simon Bisley Heavy Metal pissfart era for a scrap of Moebius or something avant garde#If I wasn't working on 1000 different things I would write reviews of Heavy Metal issues from my bookshelf lol#Some of these issues are ripe vomit. I could really tear into them#Insane that they went from cutting edge of adult SFF sequential art to whatever the fuck was going on in the FAKK 2 era#Ok I need to go get ready for bed lol enjoy whatever this post turned out to be

Tumblr media
Come and enjoy stories that will remind you of the 40 years of turtle history.
Tumblr media
SCORE: 10 *
* Assuming you are familiar with these iterations.
This is a strange read, and curiously, there are three or four highlights for me, and they are not exactly the ones you would imagine.
Spoilers after the break...
The first story by Kevin Eastman is in the Mirage section of the book but... well... I'll leave at that... I wouldn't call it the Mirage we knew.
Tumblr media
There is a story by Lawson and Lavigne with the Rat King that... it's fun. But, you know... I wouldn't even try to fit it in canon... the amount of continuity physics you need to bend to place this story is not worth the time. Just enjoy as a new story by these two iconic Mirage artists.
Tumblr media
This other story by Tristan H. Jones and Paul Harmon requires more analysis. I'll revisit it on my gang wars video and try to give it more context... but unfortunately... it's just too vague. All I can say for sure is that it happens in the future of that incomplete saga, but the narrator just takes too many artistic choices to be taken at face value.
Also... I believe this is the first official (frontal) appearance of Agent Bishop (unless I got the character wrong, but Jones already tried to introduce him in this saga). I think he is still holding on to it, and I really hope he gets to tell his story. I wouldn't mind a mini-series... just saying!
Tumblr media
The Volume 3 story was... not for me. The dialogue alone felt tired.
Tumblr media
The Archie adventure was short, eventful, and funny... and it looks amazing too!
In just four pages a new character was introduced and... a new love story was implied! And it's not just a gratuitous cameo... this is a funny sequence.
Tumblr media
The Saturday Morning Adventures (the de facto 87 story) looks amazing as usual, but I didn't find the story that interesting. However, it started a theme that would run across most of the stories in this special after this one: Master Splinter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The 2003 story is a... loose canon?
Hun is Slash, and Shredder is back... so make of that what you want. All I'm going to say is that this felt a lot like watching the beginning of a 2003 episode, with the narration setting the tone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The 2012 story was one of the least interesting in the previews, but I have to say... it was probably one of the best. It brought back a villain and it technically serves as an excuse to continue the series?
But to me the best thing about the story is the art. I am surprised Ciro Nieli didn't do more comic book work for the Turtles all these years. In fact, if they somehow decided to continue the 2012 universe in 2D in this style... I'm all in. Well, who am I kidding... I would be in anyway... but this looks amazing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Andy Suriano did probably the most interesting story in the book. Now, I am not sure if his style doesn't translate well to static panels or what the problem is with the comic format... but it doesn't matter... this small story brought in a lot of things that ended on the editing floor after the show's second season was reduced to a few more episodes. There was a rumor about a female turtle, and not only it is here in all its glory, but there is also a brother?
And come on... it's so Lou Jitsu to die with a cliffhanger.
Tumblr media
There are two IDW stories. One is another Splinter story, but the other one is perhaps one of the best in this book.
The Ronda Pattison story takes place just before the Armageddon game, and it shows the five turtles in full sibling dynamic (even Jennika). It was refreshing to see these turtles having fun for a change.
There are no stories by the new team, but... well... that's just starting.

Happy 40th Anniversary TMNT!
It's really crazy to think that after all these years, I still find myself loving these bois! I've talked about it before, but i found this franchise when I was 9, that was in 2005, and I had just started watching the 2003 series. I believe the first episode I saw was "The Darkness Within" from season 3. I was hooked instantly! Then I watched 87, the 90's live action films, then the 2007 movie! When Nickelodeon got a hold of them, they made 2012, a version that too this day I still don't like. But there were aspects of it that i enjoyed. The Bayverse Films where in the same "This makes me feel a way" category, and while the second film has grown on me, the first one is still pretty rough.
And then RISE came, and....oh boy. I was part of the crowd that was of the foolish mindset of "It's different, and therefore ruined"! But it wasn't until pretty recently, in 2021, that I actually watched it. And it floored me! I hadn't realized just HOW MUCH I missed this franchise in my life, but this series pulled me back in. And I've since been swimming in a pool of Turtle Content, learning more and more then I ever thought I would about this fandom set around four turtles!
This show taught me a lot as a kid, and it's continued to help me through some of the worst times of my life! And it helped be discover a lot of things about myself. For better or for worse.
I've since seen some amazing artists in the fandom like @shellsweet @sassatello and @mishacakes ! I've learned so much from the fandom too, both about the series itself and how to hone my craft better!
I owe a fuck ton to this brand, and I honestly think, if it hadn't been for The Turtles, I don't think I'd be the same artist I am now! So thank you! Thank you to the fandom, to Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird, to Sam Riegel, and to so so many others for making this fandom and series! I don't think I'd be here without you! And most of all, thank you four brothers! Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.
Cowabunga!

Kevin, the Pizza Guy
Tumblr media
A/N: To celebrate the upcoming 40th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
-------------------------------
Set in the time between the 2014 and 2016 movies, in an alternative universe where Eastman and Laird live in New York instead of New Hampshire.
Kevin Eastman and his roommate, Peter Laird are in need of money. In order to make ends meet, Kevin takes up a job as pizza delivery. And one night, that would prove to be what he needed.
Thank you to @lovelyladylavie for giving me the idea.
Warnings: Spelling.
-------------------------------
Rain. Somehow, in the few weeks he had been doing this job, it was always raining when Kevin had to do his job. Whenever he had to get on his scooter with warm pizzas in the back, the rain always decided to pour down around him. So with an audible groan he placed the warm pizzas in the top box, before bringing a helmet down on his head. The scooter roared as he started it - that old piece of junk - and he drove off.
It had never been on Kevin’s bucket list to become a pizza delivery, but he had to do his part to make ends meet. He needed the money, and this job was hiring when he needed it. His manager was nice, if not a little strange. Kept talking about green creatures in New York, but never made Kevin or any of the staff members uncomfortable. But if Kevin could have chosen himself, he would have become a comic book writer. Kevin’s roommate Peter was a comic book artist. Not a very well known one at that, but he did help out on quite a few big time comic books. But it didn’t pay much. Especially not during these times. But Kevin and Peter marched on. Every night after their shifts, the two men would sit down at the dinner table and draw. They would come up with ideas and push each other’s creativity even further.
What Kevin wouldn’t give in that moment, to end his shift and go back home to the dinner table. The dark wet back alleys of New York City was not a place Kevin liked to be alone. Especially not with a top box full of pizzas. During his first shift, his coworkers had told stories of pizzas being snatched while their backs were turned. They would deliver one of the pizzas to an apartment and when they came back, the top box would be empty. Kevin and his coworkers were sure it was a homeless person that probably stole them, but their manager had other theories. Strange theories that involved green men…
But as much as Kevin hated these dark back alleys, this delivery recurred that he went down one of them. He didn’t have to do a quick drive through, no, he had to stay in there and wait. He had to wait for the clock to hit a certain time, before leaving the pizza boxes on the ground. He would then have to go out of the alley and wait half a minute before returning. There he would find the money and his tip.
Kevin did not like that one bit. He had read enough comic books to know that this was bad. Really bad. This was how you got mocked, or maybe even killed. But damn it, he needed the money, and whoever had ordered these five large family pizzas with strange toppings had promised a good tip.
Kevin did as the customer had instructed and drove down the alley. It was a narrow alley that ended in a dead end. There was trash everywhere. Filled dumpsters and open trash bags, most likely full of rats. Kevin shuttered at the thought. Rats in New York was nothing new, but he had never liked being close to any of them. Most humans probably wouldn’t like being close to a rat…
Kevin stood off his scooter and placed his helmet on the seat, before going over to open the top box and fish out the five large pizza boxes. He checked his wrist watch - it was almost the designated time. The customer had asked him to place the boxes on the ground and leave. But with all the trash and rats around… Kevin did not want to do that. Should he leave them on his scooter? No. He did not know who these people were, and it would be idiotic to leave his scooter with them. And if he left, he couldn’t be sure if he got his money. And Kevin really needed that money.
One minute until the designated time, and Kevin still hadn’t seen a soul in the alley. Not even the rats he had been fearing so much. No one. Just him standing with five large warm pizza boxes.
Half a minute. Kevin started to grow uneasy. A growing fear started to take root in him. Until he realized. They were probably there already, just waiting for him to leave. Hiding somewhere in the shadows of the narrow alley, watching him. It ran cold down his back.
It was time, and still nobody had shown themself. Unsure of what to do, Kevin the pizzas closer, looking for movements among the trash.
“Uhm… hello?”, Kevin called out. No answer. “I’m here with the pizzas you ordered”.
“Drop them like we told you to”.
Kevin almost jumped and the sound of a deep booming voice. It was quickly followed by hushed voices, telling him to shut up. He growled something along the lines of wanting his pizza and not letting a scrawny human hold them from him. Kevin looked around in confusion, trying to locate the voices in the alley.
A second voice sighed. “Look, we have had a very long night and would very much like it if you did as we had asked”. It was then Kevin realized that voices weren't coming from the alley. “We want our pizza, our father is at home waiting for his pizza. My brother here gets quite grumpy when he is hungry”.
“I don’t get grumpy!”
“Shhh! Not now Raph! - As I was saying…”
Kevin looked up to the top of the nearest fire escape. He gasped at the sight that met him. Even though they were hidden by the shadow, Kevin could make out four muscular figures, all of them standing high and tall on the building. He started in shock as one of them continued to speak. But one of them, the tallest, noticed him staring their way.
“Uhm… Leo”, he said, catching the attention of the talking man. “I think we’ve been spotted”.
“Not on my watch”, the first voice growled before jumping down from the building, the three others screaming no, telling him not to do it.
Kevin starred in terror as the largest of the four landed before him. The man before him was anything but a man. Big, tall, muscular, green. His face was wrapped in red in a red bandana, a toothpick in his mouth, and in his hands he carried a pair of sais. Sharp pointy sais. With a low growl he took a step forwards, causing Kevin to almost trip against his scooter. Kevin could not believe the sight before him. A big green man, just like his boss had rambled on about.
“I want my pizza”, the big red clad brute growled.
“Raphael!” The three other green men jumped down from the tall building, landing next to the big one, who looked as if he was ready to jump Kevin. The one in blue grabbed the red one by the shoulder. “We’ve gone over this! You can’t just do stuff like that!”
“But I’m hungry Leo! And this guy is crushing my pizza! Can you smell it? It’s getting cold! And you know I hate cold pizza!”
“I told you we should have ordered chinese”, the purple one mumbled, causing the red one to growl at him.
“I like this guy!”, the orange turtles exclaimed, smiling big and bright as he got up Kevin's face. “Can we keep him?!”
“Mikey, no”, the blue one sighed in frustration, rubbing the bridge of his beak.
“But Leo!”, the orange turtle wailed. “He got pizza!”
“Mikey, we can’t just keep humans”, the purple one said. “That is wrong”.
“But we did that with April!”
“You make it sound like we keep April as a pet”.
“But she is our pet!”, he smiled, almost dreamily as he remembered this girl by the name of April. “My Anglecakes!”
“You’re gross”, the red one grumbled, crossing his arms.
For the first time in what felt like forever, Kevin let out a breath he did not know he was holding. This caused the blue one to turn his attention towards the shaking Kevin. Without any words, he marched over to Kevin, fishing some money out of pocket. He took the pizza boxes from Kevin’s hands, before giving them to the red one, his anger subsiding a little. He held the cash up for Kevin to see, before lowering himself to Kevin’s level.
“You can’t tell anybody about this”. He took Kevin’s hand, forcing the crash into his palm before closing it. “Got it?”
Kevin nodded slightly, but he couldn’t stop himself. The question burned on his tongue, and he could not stop himself before he blurred it out. “But- but… who are you? What are you?”
Something flashed in their eyes, as if they were reminded of something. A small smile creeping upon their lips.
“We’re teenagers-”, the orange one said proudly, as if he had been practicing for this exact moment.
“Mutants-”. The red one cracked his neck while doing so.
“Ninjas-”, the blue one said with a nod.
“Turtles”, said the purple one, pushing his glasses up on his beak.
Kevin nodded, his mouth agape. He did not expect himself to keep so calm in this situation. “Well I’m Kevin… the pizza guy”.
“Aw, guys! Even he has a cool name!”, the orange mutant turtle said. “I bet he has a Christmas album too!”
“Quit it with that Christmas album!”, the red turtle yelled. “You make me cringe so hard I think my shell’s about to crack!”
“Okay, that’s enough”, the blue one said, handing them their pizzas. “It’s time to go home. Master Splinter is waiting”.
“Leo’s right”. The purple turtle took his pizza box. “You know how rats get when they're hungry”.
Rats?! Kevin once again felt a shiver run down his spine. Mutant turtles and rats? This was only getting more and more crazy.
“Donnie’s right. We have to go”, the one called Leo said. “We have to get going”.
“It has to be quick”, the one called Raphael said, looking into his pizza box. “They’re getting cold”.
“That’s not good”, Mikey said. “Dad hates his pizza cold!”
In less than half a second, the four mutant turtles went to the fire escape and started to climb up, easily balancing a pizza box in one hand.
“See you around, Kevin!”, Mikey called out, spinning the pizza box in his hand.
“Shut it, shell brain”, Raphael grunted, pushing for Mikey to move.
Kevin watched the turtles despair up the fire escape, their still barely warm pizzas in hands. It took them less than a few seconds, by incredible strength and incredible speed.
Kevin stood still, even long after they disappeared over the rooftop and into the night. He finally stopped to listen to his own heart. It was beating fast in his chest. His breath sounded like he had been running a marathon. But as he continued to stare at the last place he had seen the mutant turtles, he remembered what he had in his hand. Money. Kevin took a closer look at the money Leo had given him. He gasped when he realized how much it was.
Kevin blinked, realizing what he had just seen. Four teenage mutant ninja turtles… Hmmm, that had a pretty good ring to it. Kevin put the money into his pocket before turning to his scooter. Teenage mutant ninja turtles. Leo, Raphael, Mikey and Donnie… Pizza loving with a rat dad? Kevin started the scooter and drove out the alley. Teenage mutant ninja turtles. Goodness! That was it! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Kevin had to tell Peter about this! It was absolutely absurd! No one would believe him! And therefore it was an amazing idea. It was a comic book waiting to happen, and Kevin was ready to write it!
Kevin slammed the breaks on his scooter when he realized; Mikey said he would see him around. He would see them again. The mutant turtles would order pizza from him again.
Kevin happily started the scooter again, almost singing out loud.
This would be the best comic book ever!
----------------------------
A/N: Happy 40 years guys!💙❤️💜🧡
Now let us forget that the Christmas album ever was a thing

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2024) #1-4 promo art. New series written by Jason Aaron, art by Joelle Jones (#1, Raphael), Rafael Albuquerque (#2, Michelangelo), Cliff Chiang (#3, Leonardo), and Chris Burnham (#4, Donatello).
A few thoughts, six months ahead:
- Following Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, and Sophie Campbell can't be easy. I'm cautiously optimistic, since Jason Aaron had a great, epic run on Thor (although I didn't care much for his Avengers).
- Having the first four issues focussing on each brother is an interesting choice. Reminds me of the microseries.
- Interesting choice of artists, too. Gotta thank Jamie S. Rich for bringing Joelle Jones to the turtles.

April O' Neil, returning to her Slim, heterosexual Beauty and white privilege.
Anyway, but I Don't get Mad of Black April, if Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird never agree on her rave, minus me, I have ideas for my TMNT visión to along My fanfiction of Irma Langinstein, specially when I'm bored and these sketches Will full My cravings to be a famous Artist and have a Better universe than EZ, jajajaja.
In what It's been, ah yes, In My adaptation, April has 15 years old, She's more young than the turtles, because why not.
Mickey has 16, Donnie 17, Raph 17 too, but with 5 months of Difference and Leo has 18 years old.
Finally April really enjoys the Spring Break Fools!
April O' Neil, regresando a su esbelta heterosexual belleza y privilegio blanco.
En fin, tampoco me molesta la Abril Negra, sí Kevin Eastman y Peter Laird nunca se ponen de acuerdo con su raza, menos yo, tengo ideas para mi visión de TMNT junto a mi fanfiction de Irma Langinstein, especialmente cuando estoy aburrida y esos sketches van a llenar mis ansias de ser una artista famosa y de tener un universo mejor que el de EZ, jajajajaja.
En que estaba, ah sí, en mi adaptación, April tiene 15 años de edad, ella es mucho menor que las tortugas, pues porque no.
Mickey tiene 16, Donnie 17, Rafa 17 también, pero con 5 meses de diferencia y Leo 18 años.
¡Finalmente Abril en verdad disfruta de las Vacaciones Primaverales!

TMayNT Day 31: Favorite Style
Tumblr media
The Turtles have appeared in a wide variety of artistic variations, some a bit too slim, and some a bit too bulky (Lookin' at you, Michael Bay, Rise!Raph) but I think I like the ones that are a good mix of the two. Like this one from the Mirage Studios story, "The Unmentionables" written and drawn by Kevin Eastman with inks also done by Eric Talbot.
