First gay dads on TV imo
Now a lot of people out there think that since Jonny’s mother never appeared in the show, Race was actually more than just Dr. Quest’s bodyguard. Bullshit. First off, Mrs. Quest was killed by Dr. Quest’s arch-nemesis. How can any man remarry in good conscience knowing that the death of his first wife was an indirect result of his own actions? Impossible. If you’re looking for hard evidence, this article disproves the theory while further illustrating the badassery of Race Bannon:
Two scenes stood out in the series and would never make it onto any kind of children’s programming today, or in the future. The first was when CIA agent and Dr. Quest protector Race Bannon is in Hong Kong to meet a contact to pump them for some information. The contact is a hot Chinese babe who invites him back to her private boat to discuss the info he needs. Cut to the Jonny/Hadji/Bandit storyline for a scene. Cut to the Dr. Quest for a moment. Go to commercial. When we come back, Race’s “informant” is standing near him wearing a robe while he is sitting on the corner of her bed putting his boots on. He thanks her for the information and leaves. Even at a young age I knew that Race had just “pumped” her for all the info he needed to get the job done. Jonny couldn’t have a better role model and neither could I. — Beau Smith

Dang kiddo, I ain’t trying to change Jonny Quest canon with fanart. My drawing, my fantasy. Alls I know is Dr.Quest made me gay for hot, bearded action scientists. Unf!
