Other appearancesEdit
Tales of the TMNT Comics Edit
In issue #21 of the Mirage Studios Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the C.O.W.-Boys chase Sheriff Terrorbull through a portal that leads them into New York City. There they meet Master Splinter and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who aid them in capturing the villainous Terrorbull.
The C.O.W.-Boys return in issue 32 of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles titled "The Eye of Aga-Moo-Tu". Written by Stephen Murphy, this March 2007 issue tells the story of Savanti Romero's pursuit to possess an all-seeing cosmic eye that, once in his possession, will allow him to harness the power of the universe. It's up to the Turtles and the C.O.W.-Boys to stop him. Other Moo Mesa characters that make an appearance in the issue are Miss Lilly Bovine, Cody Calf, Cowlamity Kate, Mayor Oscar Bulloney, Saddlesore Scorpion and Boothill Buzzard. The story ends with an Utrom in a cowboy exoskeleton exiting the Tumbleweed Saloon and riding off into the sunset. There are 2 versions of this comic book. The regular edition sold through the direct sales market and an event exclusive edition sold only at a one day TMNT art exhibit. It features a brand new, alternative cover.
For the cross-over adventures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles creator Peter Laird stepped in to plot both issues.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward Edit
The C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa make a cameo appearance in the 2003 TMNT animated series Fast Forward episode Home Invasion.
The Turtles visit the Tumbleweed Saloon in Moo Mesa in the form of a virtual simulation, where they fight a cast of Cowtown villains and play a hand of cards with heroes Marshall Moo Montana, the Dakota Dude, and the Cowlorado Kid. The featured Moo Mesa villains are Sheriff Terrorbull, Boothill Buzzard, Shock Holiday, Big Bucks, Lone Grunger, Butch Cowsiddy, Stub and Slick Willie Weasel, all of whom first appeared in the 1992-1994 Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa animated ABC television show.
Brown has been asked at a number of convention appearances to clear up the confusion surrounding the C.O.W.-Boys Fast Forward appearance and about why the TMNT fought them. He explained that after preliminary talks, multiple Moo Mesa characters were provided to 4Kids Entertainment for the Home Invasion episode and that each character was clearly identified as a good guy for the final card table scene or bad guy for the fight sequence. The TMNT were never supposed to battle the good guys Marshal Moo Montana, the Dakota Dude and the Cowlorado Kid, and one must assume that the animators, not being familiar with the Moo Mesa characters, merely mixed them up. Brown further explained that due to the episode's extremely tight deadline he did not get to view the final product until the broadcast date. Also of note, Brown's name is misspelled in the end credits for the show.
