Issue 19: Goodnight Turtle



Going to bed. It was the worst thing your parents could make you do as a kid. Any opportunity to stay up just a tad later and avoid a visit from the Sandman was always a treat. But when that unfortunate time came, when you unwillingly had to be tucked into bed, was there any saving grace?


Yes. Yes, there certainly was. Mine came in the form of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bedsheets. They provided comfort both physically and mentally for a seven year old me. And when that time to go to sleep finally did roll around, I'd rest my head on those TMNT pillowcases, flick on the nightlight, and let my dreams take me into the night...

Decades later, the sheets still fit and the nightlight still burns bright in The Sewer Den. Here's a look at some magical TMNT items for bedtime and beyond.
