Lil Formers #152: TMNT
Finally got to a do a turtles strip…yay!
BTW anyone remember the future Turtles from the Archie comics? Where Raph had one eye and carried everyone’s weapons? Awesome!
Oh and if you didn’t notice, new t-shirts!
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:26 am
LOL! Michaelangelo looks extremely fat in this comic!
And yes, those new t-shirts rock (would buy them but, once again, I’m not allowed to buy stuff outside the USA)!
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:32 am
LOL This is hilarious. I knew someone would think of this soon. He looks sooo cute too. ;P
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:44 am
IS SHRED SCARED HE GET THE SWINE FLU FROM HIM, HES JUST A FAT TURTLE WHO SITS AROUND PLAYINGVIDEO GAMES AND EATING PIZZA, NOT LIKE HTE TURTLES HAVE DONE MUCH LATELY
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:49 am
LOL That was so mean!
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:01 am
I remember those strips, and yah, future raph and the Future Shark: Amaggon series were pretty damn cool. Coolest part was where Rat King (who actually had a name in the series, other than Rat King) mind funked Splinter who beat the $#!T out of mikey.
There was recently a graphic novel that put out the first five archie comics. Lets hope they eventually get around to those later stories cuz there was some really cool things that happened in that series.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:01 am
That was awesome!
What’s really funny is I’ve been buying the 25th anniversary volumes of the Original TMNT cartoon XD
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:06 am
Yes! My favorite cartoon show!!! Poor Mikey, that’s what pizza-eating will do to middle age Mutant Ninja Turtles, ha ha.
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:22 am
Now you have me thinking about Turtle blubber. Ewwww.
I was actually hoping you’d be going back to a Transformers strip, what with the movie coming out this week. Click my name, I’ve got a Transformers comic this week! Equal parts nerdy, too! Weeeeeee!
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:46 am
Large amounts of Pizza consumed by a creature with one of the slowest metabolisms of any vertebrate. Oh yeah, that’s one fat turtle LoL.
The again maybe he’ll just turn into a dragon to burn it off…yeah that was a stab at the lost last season of the 2000’s series of Ninja Turtles. Don’t believe me? check youtube for (TMNT, Dragons) or (TMNT Final Season).
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:39 am
Mikey wins by default
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:43 am
Oh. He looks worse than Peter Griffin. Major workout and weight loss needed.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:20 am
Oh, yeah, I remember the Archie comic–that was the series where they basically ended things not long after killing Manta’s little friend by sending Bebop and Rocksteady to run naked on some savannah planet, threw Shredder in jail, and…I forget what they did to Krang. Not sure if it was the same writers who screwed up the Sonic comic around the same time, but they had a similar style (or lack thereof). I still need to get around to reading the original Eastman and Laird series that all the other TMNT stuff is a kidified version of.
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I’ll never forget the Simon Bisley done one called Bodycount where Raph and Kasey Jones teamed up, and Raph was whippin out machine pistols and assault rifles…that was a total trip!
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Looks like Michaelangelo needs some serious weight loss.
Old-school Ninja Turtles FTW!
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Naw, but there’s this fan manga where Raph had one eye & was pretty buff…good storyline though….
It’s at this site: http://www.obscurezodiac.com
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:29 pm
It does give a whole new meaning to COWabunga! :p
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:30 pm
BTW… I love the Playbot shirt! I guess Arcee caved after all!
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Mikey! Go on Jenny Craig!
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I remember the future turtles… but the real question is, does anyone remember the turtles fast foward tv show? (which was worse than turtles in space meeting power rangers)
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I remember the Future Turtles, which began some time before the actual arc with Verminator X and Shredder in the desert. Back when the turtles, Ninjara, and Splinter were cruising the planet and met Al Falqua. Later on the future arc had Raph with sais and katanas, and Don with his telescoping bo and nunchucks. Armagon, Verm. X and Shred were teamed up, traveling through time wth a machine powered by things such as: the White Stone of Mecca, Hitler’s Brain, the bones of the Roswell Alien, and so on. I never finished the arc, but looked very interesting.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Their actually going to re-publish some of those issues in a book and then continue where they left off with new stories…

The bit about future turtles I remember was the After the Bomb RPG supplement “Road Hogs”, where Raph has a new group of Turtles, and is a Splinter-like character.
June 23rd, 2009 at 5:28 pm
…Ya know ,it’s funny, but, Matt hasn’t criticized all the Shredders. First he was a ninja crimelord, then he was a lackey, then he was an alien, after that he was a mutant freak, and now he’s a computer virus. Try sayin’ that five times fast!
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:57 pm
PandaBob, when you saying “mutant freak” do you mean the Demon Shredder, or did I miss one?
June 24th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
LOL!
June 25th, 2009 at 7:39 am
Too bad for Shredder. FLOWERtality.
June 25th, 2009 at 11:41 am
This is the result by eating pizza like the main food since 80’s, neither the comic book guy from the simpsons is that kind of fat, poor turtles XDDDD
June 25th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
I saw the first Turtles Movie years back while under the influence of a mind altering substance. Thank God the turtles didn’t look like that. Maybe if the walls or screen had started “melting” that would have been the effect.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Bring on the twins mat!! I know you can’t go by them you have to do them!
June 27th, 2009 at 3:05 am
Have to say I loved the new Transformers movie. the explination for why Jetfire had a cane worked out fine. The plot was a little odd, then again I’ve seen weirder ways to try and get Energon.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:02 am
-laughs for eternity and longer until head explodes
June 28th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Me G.Jr. think Dinobots will appear in third movie. Both TF movies were very excellent. And me thought first two TMNT live-action awesome… the third though… me would not munch even if covered in honey-BBQ suce.
August 8th, 2009 at 12:36 am
now that I think of it, I do remember it. I had one comic that had him and Donatello coming back from the future. My fave character was Ninjara, Raph’s girlfriend.
August 10th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Now he’s a hero in a DOUBLE shell… …sorry.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:13 am
i liked the light blue female turtle they had for a seaon or 2. and splinter
anyone who is a rat that lived with a guy whod id martial arts but can still teach radioactivve turtles how to be the finest fighting machines of all time deserves respect.
also anyone remember the subway phase were they replaced unhealthy fatty pizzas with lean mean subs of goodness. so glad it was only a fad
November 20th, 2009 at 8:16 am
@pandabob. and thats only a few of them. i have followed the turtles for a while and its liek anytime they beat the shredder they add 5 more.
i still like when he was an alien. he is from an advanced race of “peacful aliens” were he is a prisoner, crashes on earth, takes command, spills a truck of toxic waste to cover his tracks leading to a young boy spilling his turtles that evole and learn taichi, karate and several self defence i can not ID and they kill him.
all i can think is disneys song ♪ITS THE CIRCLE OF LIFE♫

Tisk, tisk, mickey. I told you to not eat to much pizza!

Are you aware that turtles age much slower as they reach maturity? Turtles are practically incapable of dying of old age.
