Quest

Jonny Quest Opening Titles from Roger D. Evans on Vimeo.

I saw this last year, came across it again, and realized that it’s one of those things you can’t see too often. Or hear too often, if you’re a jazz fan; the sort of jazz where the trumpets and trombones are weapons, smashing down walls, cold-cocking villains.

According to the Vimeo site, Roger Evans ran a Kickstarter campaign to expand this intro into a full episode. Perhaps the one with the robot spider and its telescoping sucker. Amazingly, it wasn’t funded; proof that Evil still delights in stomping Good, and that Jonny Quest and his big band is still needed.

Book clubs, pre-internet, were like the internet: if you lived in a small town and loved science fiction and fantasy, it was like plugging into the greater world. Of course, like most boons, it came with a price, especially if you were the ADD sort and inclined to misplace those Decline This Order cards.
