Where does one start with the problems here?

Oh my god I could go on ALL NIGHT about these particular issues of Knuckles.

The artwork breaks my heart for a lot of obviously apparent reasons, but apart from VECTOR GROPING SWAN TITTIES and MIGHTY GROWING POPEYE ARMS and A BILLION SHITTY KNUCKLES CLONES, I KNOW that this dude is actually a competent artist!

It’s Chris Allan, who did most of the run on Archie’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic! I don’t know what the hell happened, but I’m hazarding a guess that he got a gig on the book and saw it was talking animals and just applied FREAKISH MUTANT TURTLE proportions to everyone and called it a day because the editorial staff apparently didn’t give enough of a shit to give him some direction that would result in ACTUAL ARTISTIC CONSISTENCY WITH PRIOR ISSUES OF THE COMIC.

But personally I don’t think even good art could have salvaged those stinker issues. YES LET’S WRITE A STORY ARC ABOUT KNUCKLES TRYING TO GET IT ON WITH A LADY, THIS WILL SURE INTEREST OUR CORE AUDIENCE OF YOUNG CHILDREN.

No WHOOPS you just confused these children for life, now they’re drawing swan tits

Sorry guys I get very passionate about how AWFUL these comics were, so don’t be surprised if I start fuming about it now that I’ve discovered this wonderful tumblr account!
