In the ancient Korean saga _ **Warror Monk’s Quest for Soysauce** _ Kim Chee honored his ancient master’s last request by going on a search for the perfect soy sauce recipe. He defeats 120,000 Mongol warriors in combat, forces the Chinese Emperor to give him his cloak, and finally obtains the recipe by winning a Zen riddle contest with a magic talking squid.

“Supersable” was a cartoon charater created in the mid-60’s to capitalize on the success of Mighty Mouse, Underdog, and Rocky & Bullwinkle. The series was cancelled mid-season after a highly controversial episode in which Supersable snorted six lines of cocaine and dropped acid with Felix the Cat. Videotape copies of this rare series continue to fetch extremely high prices on eBay and Craigslist.

Supersable was the obvious inspiration for Ralph Bakshi’s _The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse_, and probably the inspiration for his character Bat-Bat. Today Ralph Bakshi travels the world by train as a hobo.
