The Adventures of Dr. McNinja
In  the tradition of revisionist, postmodern, deconstructed animated characters (we ain't talking Scooby Doo here) comes Dr. McNinja, a comic strip hero who can kick and medically treat ass, all within a few panels. Three Dr. Mac stories currently reside in the can. They include the first episode, in which the doc, who dresses in a combination white coat/ninja-mask outfit, takes on a giant lumberjack; the second story, which opens ominously at McDonald's national headquarters; and the latest installment, where we get to hang out with the doc, his parents, and his kid brother, all top fighting McNinjas themselves. The plots and dialogue, as you may have guessed, lean toward the absurd, such as in this exchange between the doc and his brother: "Can you pass me the gravy?"
"Sure."
"No, pass me the gravy like a NINJA!" You can bet that gravy flew over there. (in Comic Strips) |
