I''ve got a copy of the "Comics Scene" piece with the model sheets of the Kat
guys and the Turbokat from all angles - I'll upload it to "incoming" at rat.org - but
Rat himself won't be back from Confurrence until sometime next week to
put it up in /pub.
Sorry for leading folks on, but there are NO SK plushies around at all - they
were never produced, and from what I could tell from the merchandise book, were
never intended to be produced.
(sigh) Right now I'm working on drawing razor1.gif on paper and
>I'm doing pretty good
Me too...I draw the Kat guys (normally Razor) at work all the time - I'm
actually getting rather...er.."mediocre". Everyone I talk to that draws in
the cartoon world keeps repeating the same "key to success" - and that's
"practice-practice-practice...." Keep practising.
. Now back to the toys..... I checked at Target,

Okay - originally, the Kat toys were supposed to be shipped to Target,
Toys R Us, and K-Mart (apparently Wal-Mart also - if I recall). So far,
the only sightings of the toys and the posters have been at TRU and K-Mart.
Try calling the store in Cadillac before making your parents drive you all
that way - you might end up disappointed!
>P.S. Is the speed of heat faster than speed of sound?
Speed of sound is about 600 mph or so - "Mach One". The "Speed of Heat"
appears to have enabled the Turbokat to acheive escape velocity - which is
considerably more (if I remember) than your average F-14.

Jets reach their "service ceiling" when the air is too thin to provide the needed
lift over the wings. Turbokat operating above it's normal ceiling becomes
essentially a winged missile - the "wings" just act as stabilizers, but really
provide no "lift", as in run-of-the-mill missiles and rockets in general.
The "shield" that envelops the canopy is supposed to protect the occupants
from becoming Kentucky-fried Kat upon re-entry - a task done by the
famous "heat-shield tiles" on the Space Shuttle.
Other than that, "cartoon physics" is an oxymoron...
