Is Jonny Quest based on Rick Brant? Who knows?
• Live on island. • World famous scientist father. • Indian friend • Have a dog Hugh Ashlock contributed the following simularities: • The JQ episode “The Fraudulent Volcano” is a direct rip off of #17 The Flaming Mountain, • The Diving bell/Sub Invention of Dr. Quest in “The Dreadful Doll ” and “Pirates From Below” looks exactly like the one on the cover of #4 100 Fathoms Under • The episode “Skull & Double Crossbones” has a Mini-Sub identical to the “Phantom Shark” in #6 The Phantom Shark. • The episode “Calcutta Adventure” has a scene where the Quests meet Hadji that parrots the scene where the Spindrifters meet Chada from #2 The Lost City. Unfortunately Doug Wildey, the creator of Jonny Quest, is deceased so we may never know. If you would like to find a good reference try The Jonny Quest Episode Guide at http://www.classicjq.com/ I am still investigating and if anyone has definitive information on this please e-mail me.
