Description Gift-art for

Comix Zone, one of the great MegaDrive games and symbol of 90's hip. Here we have Sketch Turner, comic book artist extraordinary and his pet rat, Roadkill, just taking time out of their busy schedule of being sucked into comics books to save post-apocalyptic worlds, to take a moment for quiet reflection. Either that, or Sketch has just spotted that pizza slice that went missing hanging from the ceiling fan.

Just for clarification's sake, if you ever played Yahoo! pool with a guy named Sketch Turner, you were playing against the boy, but the psychotic wired-weirdness was all me. That's right. You were talking to me!

Neat picture! I like the look on his face and to see Roadkill on his shoulder. This is one of my favorite games (and favorite characters), such cool concept and lots of fun. I wish there would be a HD remake, a Comix Zone Reboot, a sequel or something to bring this game and characters (I included Roadkill here) back.

Nice. In about 2 weeks (at animeboston 2007) I'll attempt cosplaying as him. He was one of my favourite characters from the 90's.

Gotta love the 90's.

You can carry Cait around on your shoulder, but his claws dig in through your shirt.

Just like the Japanese version of Dirge of Cerberus isn't as polished as the American and Euro release

I wouldn't mind so much if they weren't working him so hard. If he's got a day off and someone doesn't turn up they call him. When he does have a day off he sleeps most of it because he's so knackered. I wish they wouldn't be such a load of useless cunts about it. As long as they get their day off they're happy.

You got a commission from a band? That's ace!

Sketch rocks. We have a rat! When we catch it we can name it roadkill.

stormus In reply to dormant374 [2006-10-28 09:37:48 +0000 UTC]

I dunno. In the grand tradition of things maybe it should be called arsemonger or something similar. It would fit in well with Bumface and Shitarse MacCreedy. Or it could be called that White-arsed sonnovabitch. Sort of teaches you to be cruel instead of kind. That's the last time I rescue vermins from the catten. Bloody feline's supposed to kill rats, not bring them indoors and have them take up residence. So either we keep Arsemonger, or we send him to the gas chamber. Which is kinder?
