Cue Jazzy Theme Music (Part 2 of 4)

So I rambled on about the Jonny Quest theme music in my previous post, when I should have simply linked a clip of the opening credits (incidentally, the composer, Hoyt Curtin, was also responsible for a few other notable jazzy Hanna Barbera theme songs, such as Top Cat, and The Jetsons):



And for today's illustration, here's Hadji, Jonny Quest's best friend, adopted brother, and partner in crime.


When I drew this originally, Hadji was supposed to be levitating in a display of his trademark mystical powers. I guess that isn't really apparent with no background as context.

Nice Comrade!!! Keep 'em comin'! Whenever i hear jazzy music like this JQ theme i just start shaking what my Momma gave me....i love it!

i kind of assumed he was levitating. it reads if you know the character, and screw you if you don't.

my friend had a dog named hadji. and my nephew insisted that johnny's dog was named "bandage" for years.

that is the end of my stories about johnny quest.
