We meet again, Dr. Quest ...

Totally forgot I did this until I was going through my Facebook photos.

I love the old (mid-1960s) Jonny Quest series and there have been two really biting (and lovingly sarcastic) parodies.

An episode of the gone-too-soon Freakazoid! had a segment entitled Toby Danger. The animation style was spot on and they used Don Messick (Dr. Quest) for Dr. Danger.

Venture Bros. on Cartoon Network is best described -- in addition to really biting (and lovingly sarcastic) -- as Quest on Acid. In one episode they killed Race Bannon, another found Jonny in a diving bell (where he's been for 20-some years), and one with a walking eye.

(I was probably suffering from low blood sugar when I did this. I do know it was after a Quest marathon. Hmm, let's take two of the most incongruous images and put them together, yeah, that's a good idea. In any event, I found it amusing, and when I posted it, several others did as well. I should find a font that's more in line with the original series.)
