I always loved Saturday morning cartoons. I got up early Saturday mornings, ate my bowl of Froot Loops and watched every show I could, starting at 7 am all the way until Noon when my Dad would start watching old Rifleman Reruns.<\/p>\n
I saw Bugs Bunny\/Road Runner, JabberJaw and Honk Kong Phooey. The Jetsons, Tarzan, Thundarr the Barbarian and many, many more.<\/p>\n
One cartoon I never saw though was “Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch”<\/strong> and seriously, I thought I had seen them all.<\/p>\n Well it just so happened that Charlton Comics put out a Comic for “Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch”<\/strong> and it also happened that the great John Byrne<\/strong> would draw a couple of them.<\/p>\n So, 3rd Degree Byrne<\/strong> is going to cover this little gem of a book from 1975 in this latest episode.<\/p>\n \n But Wait. . . Theres more!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n 3rd Degree Byrne is joined this week by none other than the Godfather of the Two True Freaks Network, Scott Gardner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tim Elliott<\/strong> and Brian Hughes<\/strong> spend so much time gabbing with Scott that the show visits a great many topics, like Star Trek<\/strong>, NASA<\/strong> Vintage Comic Book ads<\/strong>, The Titanic<\/strong>, Transformers<\/strong>, X-Men<\/strong>, Chris Honeywell<\/strong>, Longbox diving for back issues<\/strong>, Meerschaum Pipes<\/strong>, the fate of The<\/strong> Crisis on Infinite Earths podcast<\/strong>, Superman<\/strong> and Indiana Jones<\/strong>. We keep coming back to John Byrne<\/strong> over and over too.<\/p>\n So do like Robert Plant and grab a tall cool one to drink while you listen to 3rd Degree Byrne<\/strong> and Scott Gardner<\/strong> as they talk about “Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch”<\/strong> and so much more!!!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n 3rd Degree Byrne is proud to be part of the TwoTrueFreaks Internet Radio Network http:\/\/twotruefreaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Join Brian and Tim, two life long comic freaks, as they take a look at one of the quintessential comic book writer\/artists of the last 40 years, John Bryne.
