A sock full of Johnny Quest

Oh, that's some fat brass!

The expression "A sock full of Johnny Quest" is from this comic, specifically a reference to Yoko Kanno's soundtrack for "Cowboy BeBop". I thought it might be fun to share that source material.

And, while we're here, a little segment of a documentary about "Johnny Quest", focusing on the music and the guy who gave it to us. He should have had a career outside of cartoons, you say? But then, how would you know him?

The year was 1986, and music videos where the thing. Sensing a bandwagon waiting to be jumped on somebody over at Hanna-Barbera decided to license a few top 40 hits and drag some cartoon footage outta the morgue and give the kids what they wanted. Which was apparently a half hour of really poorly edited and painfully unimaginative crap. In fact this tape is so bad you can't even really enjoy it for it's inept badness. It's that unrelentingly bad. This is a, "Great Party Tape" only if you needed something to drive away party guests who've overstayed their welcome.

I don't remember exactly, but I think this is the tape that Dave played selections from at Japanese Animation Hell at AWA a few years back. I'm not certain because I think my mind has tried desperately to forget as a coping mechanism.
