The first issue was really fun, because it was both a spoof and not a spoof of Frank Miller, and the turtles were written in/around the Daredevil origin story.

After that, I just never was caught up in the "fun" I guess. People say I have no sense of humor, sometimes. (I think find lots of stuff funny.)

Now, I just look at how much the Turtles have been in, and I 'just don't get it'.

So many incarnations hard to keep up. Started out as adult satire, turned semi-serious, went all kid friendly with Archie comics and Nickelodeon.
Team Ups with Batman went serious by not believable. (Hey - why not). It is what it is. Fictional characters. Go back to original premise. Don't take too serious.]]> Wed, 20 Jan 2021 12:07:44 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15823 Message from Konungrcomics BasementComics wrote:

Shortly afterwards, I quit collecting comics and forgot about the characters. One day a musician friend asked me if I wanted to buy a cassette of music he'd produced for another guy we both knew. I said "yes" and the name of the band was "TMNT" I asked how they knew about TMNT and he confirmed it was based on the comic characters. I was stunned. I didn't know anyone else had ever heard of them.]]> Sun, 10 Jan 2021 14:33:42 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15823 Message from BasementComics Sun, 10 Jan 2021 14:23:49 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15823 Message from glorkar I get the whole nostalgia thing, but who would have thought they'd be this popular still. Same goes for GI Joe.]]> Sun, 10 Jan 2021 13:21:52 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15823 Message from BasementComics edited by BasementComics on 1/9/2021]]> Sat, 09 Jan 2021 21:38:44 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15823 Message from rgtichy
