Sunday Funnies: BLOOM COUNTY

BloomCountyjpg

Another batch of strips from the old 80s classic, Bloom County. This time around, we're focusing in on one of the 'second wave' of characters, Oliver Jones.
Although he was not there from the beginning, after his first appearance he became one of the central players in the series. He fared better than some of the other characters that floated in and then disappeared forever.

Teenage Manga Ninja Turtles

jpg0

You sometimes get strange results when you mash up Eastern (ninjas) and Western (super heroes) cultural genres. And there's barely ever been a better example than Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But what happens when somebody decides to reverse the mash up and do an Eastern version?
I think this here comic tells us the answer. It's the manga version of the turtles, complete with magic fairies and everything.
Read on, unbeliever. And I shouldn't have to tell ya's, but manga reads right to left (as if ya'll didn't know), and also this is a scanlation.

Nice upgrade, huh? Well, Bebop and Rocksteady also have an upgrade (and it actually looks good for them):

Before it's all said and done, the turtles still have to face their worst enemy, the ultimate Digimon SHREDDER:

This is merely a preview. Nice guy that I am, I uploaded the whole 100 page insanity for your viewing pleasure (from the gallery, you can use the 'next' and 'previous' buttons to click through the story):

I also left the scanners' tag as the last page so y'all can visit their website and see what else they have to offer. You're welcome.
