Blast from the Past #62 repost: Evil Mutants

I drew these two wacked-out evil mutant animal characters sometime in the late 1980's as part of our continuing efforts to help Playmates extend its TMNT action figure line.



I have NO idea what possessed me to combine a lynx with cyborg elements and add football to the mix, but I think it could have made a cool figure.



"Oscar" the mutant snail guy was a character I hoped would get made -- there's just something about him I like (I think it's his elegant bilateral symmetry). But neither of these dudes made it onto the animated show or into plastic form. -- PL

    You know, Peter...There is a way to revive the classic show as it could have been, and seeing all of these new mutants in comic form :). Gives Shredder and Krang stories a break and lightens up on the mad scientist of the week plot the old show fell back on far to often :)

    I would have loved that Snail as a kid ! Maybe with the re-releases, they could maybe do new figures in a retro style ! Awesome dude !

    Peter,

    I used to sit behind you in Mr. Cis's mechanical drawing class, we used to draw together.

    Drop me a line if you get a chance. I don't want anything ;)
