The Cartoons That Made Us Gay: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Added 2021-11-09 00:14:09 +0000 UTCIt’s finally here: our new bonus Patreon podcast, focused on queer readings of the cartoons of our youth. Though you can guess some of the series we’ll be covering, our first episode might be a surprise: It’s from the original 1987 run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — “Michelangelo Meets Mondo Gecko,” about Mike being drawn to the man (or man-gecko) of his dreams, and we couldn't think of a weirder way to kick off this new podcast project.
You patrons made this happen! Thank you. We really appreciate your support.
Coming up next: Jem and The Holograms!
The logo for The Cartoons That Made Us Gay was designed by Jeff Hinchee. This episode was edited by by Meika Grimm. This is a TableCakes podcast.
