I'm with Pete...
the cartoon was my "canon" when it came to joe. I never read the comics - in fact, until I have the complete Marvel run I won't read them ... so you can say the Cartoon is *still* my canon.
Granted, I have been following the DD comics, but they aren't as ingrained into my head as the cartoon.
The only exception is the Duke/Scarlett SE/Scarlett thing. Even though I'm a cartoon guy, SE and Scarlett just make way more sense as a couple.
