Where in the World...

I seem to have it in for bringing back really damn old cartoons. At the rate I'm going, having already begun ironing out plot details and stories for a short Captain Planet graphic novel I couldn't stop myself (or in this case my muse) from wonderenig away on me while I was lurking around the Syracuse Mall this weekened. I blame the really bad asian food I was eating (never eating there again) but I have been questing for some time now to turn up a fedora and a long trench coat I could fashion into the unforgettable guise of Carmen Sandeigo.

And then THIS happened. A moment of brilliance that came flying out of nowhere...a stoke of genius that I plan to jump on and hang on to because damn...the following thought of Carmen taking down Laura Croft in an all out theiving, tomb raiding fight would be AWESOME....I really couldn't stop myself.

So where the hell is the trench coat? Is she now wearing a bright red suit....No. This is Carmen's not-so-wanted secert identy, Maria. But when she decides it's time to go out and have a little fun and laugh in the faces of the ACME detectives, The hat and the coat come back and Carmen takes overs once again as the villianess of VILE...or...maybe...just maybe...

Can't spoil the whole story now can I?
