The image above was scanned from the pages of a manga comic book (title unknown) featuring a masked wrestler… Don’t ask us what it’s about, we have no idea! Funny thing is that it is somewhat reminiscent of Eddie’s Von Trapp* Family pic.
* Dr Von Trapp is a character from our RBN series.

congratulations! you know, i love jackie chan too. one of the things i like about it is when the real jackie chan answers a kid’s question at the end.
hmmmmm… wish the luchas could do that… the real ones… that would be cool!
That’s a great idea! We could propose it if there’s a ¡ML! season 4…
Thanks, and keep serving Man - Eddie
had some more time, came back to click on more links… i hadn’t seen the Rudo by Night episodes yet… omg… HILARIOUS. i esp. loved the karoke singing. actually, there was a lot to like but i’ll have to watch again… it all went so fast!!
To Serve Man…thankyou! Lili and I had just become exposed to the world of Lucha Libre, and this was our first attempt to try and capture it in animation. RBN was my all time favorite animation experience. We got to write, storyboard, record, design, and animate everything! And we were allowed to do whatever we wanted, with no network looking over our shoulders.
Man, I miss those characters! -Eddie
