In 1964, Jonny Quest aired to rave reviews as the first, adult
action/adventure cartoon in prime time. It had cool jazz music by Hoyt
Curtin and terrific, high contrast pen and ink design work by Doug
Wildey. As an animator and long time JQ junkie, I had always wanted a
set of Jonny Quest action figures but, due to high production costs, the
show only lasted one season; not long enough to spawn any kind of
serious toys or other merchandising tie-ins. So, almost 50 years later, I
made my own. Here is my Valentine to one of the coolest, if not THE
coolest, cartoons ever to spin up the imagination of a 53 year old man
now going on six. Enjoy! - Roger D. Evans
