Unofficial Tex Murphy

Lol great avatar. I just had to post about it because it looks pretty funny. What on earth is Tex doing though (that is Tex right?)?



I suggest people make suggestions about what they think is happening in that avatar, although the real explanation is welcome too, would be nice to hear what other people first thought.

Well I'm not sure myself.

It looks like he's holding that ornament in Under A Killing Moon (if I remember right?) And he's like "woo I got it, now I get to score with the girl who lost it" and going all googly eyed and panting at the thought of what he's going to get for it.

Or he's licking a shiny rock he found at Roswell. And it happens to be from a planet with a poisonous surface so he's trippin.

Or he's like "Hmm I wonder if anyone will notice if I eat this snowflake?"

Or he's trying to eat the evidence of his latest rent bill from Nilo.

What do you think?

Thanks for noticing! Yes, that's pre-UAKM Tex, so there's no fedora.

Maybe he's about to use an extra strength tongue scraper. For fresher-smelling breath.

But if you want the truth, select the text below (spoilers?):
It's a little reference to his Pica disorder in Mean Streets. All is revealed in the full size image:

He at least considers doing this to everything he sees! Thank goodness he got help before the Martian Memorandum case.

I posted this in "fan art" too, but that place is as deserted as The Slice O' Heaven.

I know the real answers, but I'm gonna say he is using one of those Breath Strips...

That's rock of crack. I'm sure he got it from Rook.
