Link o' the Day: Classic Johnny Quest



In this week's mail, the first message was found not in an envelope or in a package, but neatly typed on the back of an old Playbill cover from an early performance of Nosferatu. It's a shame really, because without the letter on the back, the cover itself might have been worth something.

Dear Mr. Bon Nuit,

We, your biggest fans, have this to say:

Your portrayal of Falstaff in President Kennedy Goes To College was masterful.
Your rendition of President Kennedy in One Returned was beyond compare.
As John the Baptist in Krishna Saves the World (Again) you sincerely wowwed us.
In Shakespeare in Teheran you impressed us as Bloody Jim the Flower Vendor.
No one has ever brought the stage such honor as your Po in Henry IX Part 3.
Your King Bill in Driving Miss Daisy was an utter delight.
And truly, your version of the great F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Walking Entrails was nothing short of thrilling.
But...
We, your biggest fans, are disturbed by the recent portrayal of Ragdnovich in Poor Little Pope. Ragdnovich was notoriously right-handed, but your left-handed version suggests a subtext that could get a person hanged in some countries. Fun is fun, and all that--but really... why take such risks?

We remain your servants,

The United Fans of Bon Nuit, Actor Extraordinaire

Along with this came the always-familiar rag paper missive written in crimson ink. It's not often I find a connection between my mysterious, but vigilant friends and my other mail, but... well, as you'll see:

To Whom It May Concern,

We might have missed your signal. For this we apologize. Normally we are quite vigilant, but we all wanted to catch the recent performance of Poor Little Pope at the Good Night Theater and the debate that followed after was a little intense.
If you have sent the signal, please do so again. We await, breathlessly.

Today's link goes to an old favorite: Classic Johnny Quest - the webpage. Why? Because even in my 40s I'm still a fan of the old Johnny Quest series. If there's a better animated adventure series, I don't want to know about it.

Cheers!
