Scratch Rose was based on a friend of ours with whom we've since lost
contact. Phenomenal rock/jazz guitarist, looks fantastic in leather and
chains, and that hat and the boots with the straps (seen in the final comic)
are his, as is the Les Paul.
The three little lines on his left cheek are supposed to be a Native
American "coyote" symbol; I picked it up from Chris Goodwin without
understanding anything deeper about it, so maybe it'd have been better if
I'd never brought it up and left it a mystery.
