Description It's sorta like a turtle sandwich or Oreo. This is actually based on a frame from issue 61 of the Archie Comics Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic book series from like... 1993 or '94. After finishing their recent bought of shenanigans ( and having a memorial service for Slash ), Raphael & his older self from the future are sitting on a rocky structure in a desert talking when Ninjara comes to join them. After a brief exchange Ninjara plops down between the 2 Raphs and says " Mmmm. Just me and my two Raphs ...what could be nicer? ". Then, young Raph thinks to himself " Some whipped cream " and future Raph thinks " Another Ninjara ". It's just kind of a cool, slightly poignant little moment that I've been nerding on about lately.

I remember that issue.  It was basically one big exhale after the Terracide arc and Slash's sacrifice.   Your tribute picture was definitely the most memorable moment of the book.  Alas, poor Raphael...  even advice from his future self couldn't save his bond with Ninjara.  It really fell apart quickly for him after that too.

Yeah. It was right after Raph gave a less-than-tactful eulogy for Slash. Well... the Ninjara story didn't quite get a chance to end. She just said she was going back to Japan for a while.

Her storyline did get a brief continuation by Murphy and Allan in the pages of an independent anthropological animal comic, but it was a lot more graphic in content and was cancelled after two or three chapters.  It seemed to be set a few years into the future, as Ninjara had a child by that point.

I did see a page from that a while back. Who owns her?

Good question!

Kevin Eastman invented a new fox mutant for use in the IDW comics, so maybe her copyright is either unclear or resides with Steve Murphy/Chris Allan?

I've heard about the new fox but haven't read any of it.

Are Steve Murphy & Chris Allen still active? Chris Allen's art was really good when it wasn't too rushed.

Although in that link I posed, Mark (the author) does remember that Murphy/Allan said they don't have the rights.  So I guess it's all in Viacom's hands if they want to do anything with her. 

Come to think of it, Ninjara did cameo in the IDW 30th Anniversary TMNT Special published last year.
