A new use of "duh?"

[Baker, John]

        From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 7/1/1990:  "As a Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtle might say, "No duh!""

        I don't know if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actually
originated or popularized the phrase.  TMNJ first appeared in a comic
book in 1984 and in a television cartoon in 1987.

        An earlier but perhaps less enlightening use from Google Groups,
8/1/1988:  "Model size set to Huge, Test Stack Overflow ON (no duh)"
