Cartoon
The Adventures of Jonny Quest

Animal
...Lizard Man

 



Outfit: goggles / frog suit from Super Mario Bros. 3 / boat collision

Tagline: " ... "

Plot summary: Lizard Man is best known for bracing in for impact while a boat is about to fall on his boat. Lizard Man was featured in the Jonny Quest episode "Mystery of the Lizard Men". The mystery was how the fuck a wooden boat could get enough air in still waters to crush another boat and not sustain any damage. Bandit solved the mystery by barking at a head of lettuce and licking Race Bannon in the face. (more)

User Comments: Lizard Man was a monumental first in the Hanna-Barbera world, as he is believed to be the first Hanna-Barbera character to die. But the attention and scrunity directed toward him over the years has unfairly overshadowed the work of Lizard Man #2, who was standing to his side and thus was largely blocked by view of the camera. After all, he was the one steering the boat. This reality has been celebrated by a considerably large sector of the Jonny Quest Opening Credits Fanfiction Community. Below is an excerpt from a one-act play by accomplished fanfic author quest_as_folk_2001_2001:

Lizard Man #1: Why are you being so quiet?
Lizard Man #2: I'm thinking.
Lizard Man #1: You're thinking because you're lost.
Lizard Man #2: I am not lost.
Lizard Man #1: You're so lost! We were supposed to meet SPECIAL GUEST STARS FROM FINAL FANTASY AND BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER over an hour ago! Pull over and ask for directions!

[author's note: ...Many of you guys will appreciate the subtle humor here...as I often like to present cameos from other universes...it adds to the fun, if ya know what I mean...]

Lizard Man #2: Where am I supposed to pull over? It's the goddamn jungle. Hey, wait, there's a log! Let's fill 'er up over at that log? Huh? How about that? You want me to do that?
Lizard Man #1: *sobs*
Lizard Man #2: What? What's wrong?
Lizard Man #1: *sobbing* Why do you have to make me feel so stupid?
Lizard Man #2: IT'S NOT MY GODDAMN FAULT TH *gets crushed by magical indestructible boat that was dropped from a B-52*

[author's note: ...that's it for now...kind of a weak ending, i know, but i couldn't find a good way to end it...plz comment if you have any suggestions...no mean comments please!!!]
