Ricky Rouse Has a Gun: A Graphic Novel

Created by Jörg Tittel and John Aggs, Ricky Rouse Has A Gun follows the story of Rick Rouse, a US army deserter who takes a job at Fengxian Amusement Park, a family destination heavily “inspired” by Western culture, featuring Rambi (the deer with the red headband), Ratman (the caped crusader with a rat’s tail), Bumbo (small ears, big behind), and other original characters. When terrorists take the park hostage, only Rick Rouse - now employed as the cute and loveable Ricky Rouse - can save the day. In a furry costume. "Tittel and Aggs flip our cheeriest, most-beloved icons on their heads to create a story as thrilling as it is bizarre. In their world, an amusement park is a thing of gloom, friendly cartoon characters are out for blood and the copycat "Ricky Rouse" is a hero to root for. Their story of knockoffs behaving badly is a true original itself." Bianca Bosker, The Huffington Post "I loved Ricky Rouse Has A Gun, a comic filled with deaths and yet full of life." Alejandro Jodorowsky "Great fun." London Evening Standard
