1. Who drew the Johnny Turbo ads? What else has he done?

2a. Who gave the go-ahead to a fat neckbeard in a green jumpsuit as a company mascot?
2b. Is he now doing time for the above offense?

Thank you for your time.

I often wonder how many millions of Turbo Duos were sold as a result of the Johnny Turbo comics.  Or rather, not sold.

LOL PCE Hell. Seriously, though. Does anyone know who drew these things? I don't really plan on doing anything with the information, I just have this insatiable appetite for useless trivia.

The suspected artist also worked on (a very gay looking) Superman.

Some goofs at TTI thought it would be funny to blow their advertising budget on a comic strip parodying a couple of their coworkers (yes, Johnny Turbo is a real person). I'm guessing that they'd already decided that the Turbo was about to die, so why not do something stupid like this. Kinda like Sega's Panzer Dragoon Saga ads.

Holy crap, BT, that PBS special on CD-ROM technology with the real-life Johnny Turbo was priceless!

[awack]

Ha, good stuff.

I never understood the concept behind Johny turbo, is he suppose to be a serious super hero type or a comical character, he doesn't really look all that comical or all that serious, well, what ever they where going for......i find disturbing.

It's been a while since I've checked out that site. I forgot how the author's ridiculous anti-Turbo rants were just as ridiculous as the messages of the Johnny Turbo campaign.

Kinda like Sega's Panzer Dragoon Saga ads.

I never saw those.  What were they like?

They made fun of Saturn fans not being able to buy the game because they printed so few copies. They told you to cut out a mask and run around your yard flapping your arms instead.

Yep the edge face mask campaign, actually though that Summer they did print two runs of new copies.

This is proof that Sega USA not only really did hate their fans, but wanted them to know it too.

For the money it cost to create and publish that ad, they could have made at least 50 or 55 more copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga and then the game wouldn't be so super-r@re.
