A Joe To Call My Own

The Story of the G.I. Joe with a Badge… and His Bomb-Sniffing Best Friend. This is the story about Law & Order—the Military Police officer and his K9 partner who patrolled both toy aisles and cartoon frames in the late '80s. From being the only Joe named Chris (a personal big deal for me), to letting his dog play fetch with live explosives, to wearing a uniform that looked like it was sponsored by a pack of Crayola markers—this Joe left a mark. We’ll sniff through his comic adventures, his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it animated moments, and all the toy versions that followed—from his oversized Sonic Fighter backpack to the glorious 30th Anniversary figure. Whether you loved the 1987 movie or just wondered what happened to the Joe with the best good boy in the business that wasn't a....mutt—this one’s for you.
