NOSTALGIA
Only one entry tonight: Jonny Quest. Check this picture out:
Dr. Quest cooks up some Ecstasy while the troops look on. And from the looks on their faces this isn't the first batch. Even Bandit looks a little toasty to me.
Little known Jonny Quest facts:
The show debuted only four years after The Flintstones. Damn. Hanna and Barbera had found the stash, apparently.
Tim Matheson did the voice for Jonny. That's right. Otter Stratton.
"Race" Bannon's real first name was Roger. They called him "Race" because of his penchant for miscegenation. And not just Hadji. Watch "Race" interact around Nubian princesses sometime. Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera were a lot of things. Uncool was NOT one of them.
OH MAN, I LOVED JONNY QUEST!!!!RACE BANNON WAS SO COOL, BUT I HAD A CRUSH ON DR. QUEST - YOU KNOW, THE FACIAL HAIR AND ALL- THEY HAD THE BEST STORIES TOO.
CAPITAL A
Good thing, too. At least Benton Quest was straight. Race was wherever the wind blew, if you know what I mean.

I, personally, do not cleave unto this concept. Arousal is 90% mental, 10% perfume, to me.
