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.

A Post-historic Family

I haven’t read this yet, but I love the idea. It makes sense. The talking animals, designed to play records or vacuum floors, descendants of bio-tweaked husbandry. The co-existence of humans and (cloned) dinosaurs. The echo of 20th Century pop culture — bowling alleys, Cary Granite — that could only be known to a future civilization.

The Flintstones, a post-historic family.
