John, Anders is reality version of Dr. Benton Quest.

 

I mean the 1960s version, not the lame 1996 version with its supernatural
nonsense.  In the 1960s, Dr. Quest, Race Bannon and the boys used to do all
kinds of cool politically incorrect stuff like have gunfights with the bad
guys using real guns, and if that didn't work they could always land
speedboats on them.  Of course you and Anders are too young to be Jonny
Quest hipsters, but there are worse things than being too young.  {8^D
