Kid Radd (2002–2004) is an animated Pixel Art Comic in the style of a Sprite Comic by Dan Miller. It follows the adventures of the eponymous Video Game hero from Totally Rad after being released from his game.While the comic starts out as a lighthearted parody focusing on Radd's attempts to fit into a more complicated society, the plot eventually expands into a far-reaching, well-plotted, epic examination of video game character mentality. And it stays funny.Rose above most sprite comics for its blend of a deep plot, humor, and philosophical questioning, not to mention its unique style- by composing its comic panels from HTML frames and smaller images, Miller was able to easily slip animated sprites and backgrounds into the panels.Though the original site is dead and gone from the face of the internet due to AT&T discontinuing their Worldnet service, the site was previously packaged into an archive which is still circulating. One copy can be found here. A link with a browser to view it in is here. A fan has uploaded the comic onto his own site here. Another fan has re-coded the comic to work in modern browsers and uploaded it here.There are spoilers below. Be warned.

Friendly Target: Taking Bogey into combat situations is dangerous, since he only has one HP and any encounters with heroes has a good chance of ending with his permanent death.

Torment by Annoyance: At one point Radd's group are trapped in an RPG battle that rooted each of them to one spot, with an opponent who seemed likely to kill Radd or Bogey within the next couple of turns. Sheena decided to just stall forever on her turn, but the others objectednote Trapped forever with a beautiful girl we can see, but never touch...oh, and Crystal's army will be taking over cyberspace and stuff and Radd sang badly until she gave in.

Gone Horribly Wrong: The attempt to fuse murderous sprites with NPC sprites, rather than resulting in sprites that could live peacefully, resulted in ones that can kill without being defeatable. It took quite a bit of effort to round them up, and a collapsing video game ROM to destroy them.

comment
The Medic: Itty Bitty has an infinite supply of healing items. He is also immune to damage, being an NPC. However, he has no means of attacking within the confines of a game outside of taking advantage of Revive Kills Zombie, so inside Mofo, he's confined to a support role. The Nurse from Old Daedalus also fills this role, though she's a specialist and can only cure the avocado curse.

Nigh-Invulnerability: Due to the way NPC's are coded, most of them cannot be hurt or destroyed in any way, even outside their games. The only way would be if their code was damaged or deleted, which normally cant be done from inside the Internet.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: The fact that the Seer started life as a virus. Also, two from the very first chapter: everything hurts Radd equally and the Mega Radd charges to a max value of 255 because "Hey, do I have to explain everything?" The latter ends up having almost literally Earth-shattering significance. Comic 592 is loaded with reminders of them from all across the comic. The Lucky Penny item Elliot gives Radd just before the final battle. It protects the bearer from one hit, which comes into play when The Seer is about to finish off Radd while he is on his last hit point during the final battle. The fact that Radd doesn't die throws the Seer off so badly that he gets sloppy, panics and goes to his final form.

Good Bad Bugs
 Kid Radd (Webcomic) / int_24c46ba2
comment
Good Bad Bugs: Turns out to be a major, dramatic plot point. Because of programmer laziness, the charged Mega Radd just charges until the variable limit has been reached. In his original game, this put Radd's maximum damage at 255. On modern systems, the limit is high enough to cause ...problems.invoked Itty Bitty's sprite being rendered only above counter level is one he takes advantage of; by crouching down all the way, he becomes invisible. Also how the main villain is finally defeated. Combining so many different types of sprites causes his "death code" not to know what to do, and permanently lock up.

Game-Breaking Bug
 Kid Radd (Webcomic) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: A major one at the climax. The Seer attempts to exploit the fact that a "video game death" is not permanent, but unfortunately at this point he is made up of a selection of completely different sprites all fused together, all of which have different programming on death. Because of the conflicting death parameters, the chimerized sprite of the Seer crashes for good when the heroes kill him. A rare case of such a bug working in the heroes' favor.

Bedmate Reveal: After a party in Reset, Radd wakes up in bed with Bogey. Nothing happened, though, this turned out to be a prank played by Dr. Amp and Sheena.

Character Development

comment
Character Development: The Character Development is practically a plot point: characters diverging from their pre-programmed actions is a major part of the plot; the heroes succeed because they have grown beyond what they were written to be, the villains fail because they have chosen to remain static characters.

No Fourth Wall: A lot of the bonus material.

After a party scene where the reader could click on different buttons to play through different dancing animations:

comment
Art Initiates Life: Word of God stated that this is how all media works in the Kid Radd universe - anything created by humans in the shape of something the artist thinks is alive takes on their own life. However, video game characters are the only entities created by this process that can achieve true sentience and independence. Characters in paintings, drawings, and sculptures are trapped eternally in a single moment in time. Characters in books, movies, and plays must re-live the story again and again for all eternity with their memory reset periodically. Video game characters can go through many variations of the same narrative, and so eventually develop true sentience.

 Kid Radd (Webcomic) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Radd, Sheena and Bogey's fights against their counterparts in the fighting game. They regretfully decide that they're not strong enough to take along. Much more dramatically, Gnarl's fight with Radd after the former tracks him down—the degree to which he was completely out of his league was the plot's takeaway from the battle.

Immortality Field: The world of Kid Radd works similarly to Wreck-It Ralph; stay in your own game and you're fine, leave the game and you'll die permanently. However, at the end, a loophole is found where if the "ghost" of a dead character travels back to a copy of their original game and said game is rebooted, the character will resurrect because the alive/dead variable is able to be reset.

No Fair Cheating: In Mofo, the EarthBound (1994)-ersatz. They have to deplete the boss' HP in a single round, since they don't have the character necessary to kill him the right way. When this happens, the game sends them to a behind-the-sceens area, where a sprite chides them for cheating, rather than continuing the plot of the game.

Red Pill, Blue Pill: In a Matrix parody Radd is offered the usual red and blue pills. But there's also the purple pill to relieve acid indigestion and an orange pill to reduce your cholesterol. The yellow pill is for erm... personal reasons (because the blue pill was already taken). And Radd can't just choose any pill, first he must ask his doctor if they're right for him.

Pants-Free: For a while, Itty Bitty is only seen standing behind a counter. He eventually comes out from behind the counter, revealing that he has nothing below his midsection. (As in, not just no pants, but no body.) This is presumably because he spent all his time in his game behind a counter, therefore the game artists only needed to draw him from the waist up. His arms also disappear if he drops them below his waist. This also applies to the nurse the team picks up.

Grew Beyond Their Programming

comment
Grew Beyond Their Programming: Discussed at one point between Radd and Sheena. Sheena loves Radd, but isn't sure that pursuing a relationship with Radd is the right thing, because it was what they were "programmed" to do. Radd counters that while some sprites could benefit from a complete change from their pre-programmed state, some others were better off staying the way they were initially—and for most sprites, it was a matter of finding the right balance between their "programming" and development beyond it. This discussion leads directly to their Relationship Upgrade. This is also part of Radd's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Gnarl, talking about how the fact that Radd grew beyond his programming and Gnarl didn't is the reason Gnarl would never be a match for Radd now.

Lower Half Reveal: Itty Bitty is a shopkeeper NPC, and is thus only ever seen from behind a counter. When he first steps away from the counter, it's revealed his entire lower body isn't even rendered and he's just a floating torso.

Always Accurate Attack
 Kid Radd (Webcomic) / int_7ba493b0
comment
Always Accurate Attack: Kobayashi's shuriken, which comes as a surprise when he could never hit anything with any of his other attacks. Justified in that the shurikens aren't technically thrown; they're programmed to "appear" on their target, making it impossible for him to miss, since they were designed to be an instant kill move by the programmer of Kobayashi's original software.

Deconstruction: Of video games, video game tropes, and probably some sprite comics as well. Game sprites act out their roles outside the game. At best, like Radd, they have a long way to go before they can channel their talents into something productive for society. At worst, they regress into violent behavior.

 Kid Radd (Webcomic) / int_8b606a51
comment
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: In Mofo, Radd enjoys charging his attack to the maximum, regardless of how much is needed to defeat the enemy. note It's a turn-based RPG, so he can get away with this. And for the record, it's (possibly) a 12-bit system, though G.I. Guy's attack against the final boss (9990) suggests Radd might actually be be cutting off before the real limit.

comment
Humans Are Cthulhu: Sprites use the term "humanlike power" as we might say "godlike power." They're treated as gods, and many characters spend a good deal of time contemplating the implications and cruelty of what most videogames are created for. Though it's the villains who try to Rage Against the Heavens. Pretty accurate, really, except when they assume the humans know what they're doing (and that all humans are programmers). The Seer, originally being a virus, knows what humans really are.

Henshin Hero: Sheena later acquires a temporary mode where she becomes like a player character, being able to attack like a (mostly) stronger version of Radd but losing her invincibility. Superpowered Alter Ego: This is the result of merging with the code she has in the sequel to Kid Radd. Also, she seems to have the ability to switch modes at will, giving her the best of both worlds.

Contemplate Our Navels: "What is a sprite? A miserable pile of pixels!" The first attempt at civilization outside the games angsted itself to death, which didn't take much. Existential doubt is dangerous in the fireball-throwing hands of people who know exactly what they were created to do.

Alas, Poor Villain: Crystal's motivations and Freudian Excuse are examined just before she becomes part of the Seer's chimera form, and they go a long way toward explaining her psychopathic, violent behavior. Similarly, G.I. Guy is given a very sympathetic treatment, though he is always presented as a violent Anti-Hero and, later, a Well-Intentioned Extremist rather than a straight villain.

When the player wins Kid Radd's original game, the title character leans in to kiss his 'girlfriend' Sheena, only to be rudely cut off by a Fade to Black and the victory credits. This fate seems to follow the two even once they leave the game; on several occasions, the two lean in to kiss, only to be interrupted by someone or something. Including in the closing animation of the comic.

Rage Against the Heavens
 Kid Radd (Webcomic) / int_b82ca416
comment
Sprites use the term "humanlike power" as we might say "godlike power." They're treated as gods, and many characters spend a good deal of time contemplating the implications and cruelty of what most videogames are created for. Though it's the villains who try to Rage Against the Heavens. Pretty accurate, really, except when they assume the humans know what they're doing (and that all humans are programmers).

All Gravity Is the Same

comment
All Gravity Is the Same: Justified: gravity technically doesn't exist in video games. Rather, many sprites are programmed to fall down if there's nothing below them, and this common trait gives the appearance of gravity as a universal law, but in fact any given sprite will fall at its built-in rate regardless of where it is.

Description Cut: During his fight against Kobayashi's machine, Radd reassures himself that the hours his player spent "training" him were not wasted. Cut to "Somewhere in the real world," where we see a human (assumably Radd's former player) washing dishes, and thinking his mother was right: "Play video games all day, and you'll grow up a loser!" The chimeraized Gnarl/Kobayashi run to contact Dr. Amp for help with getting de-chimeraized, saying "They can't be too busy. It's not like they're entertaining guests or anything." Cut to the High Score, which is now filled with Shopkeeper NPCs and a very confused Itty Bitty.

Heroic Second Wind: Parodied in a gag comic; after Radd gets beaten up by Koyabashi, Bogey approaches him with a book full of "epiphanies", saying: "After the hero gets his ass kicked, he or she has a defining moment, which somehow makes them a bajillion times stronger."

Classic Cheat Code: Parodying the tendency to make cheat codes spell something pronounceable (DULLARD, BARACUDA), the infinite Raddboard code is Right, Up, Right, A, Down, Down. (R U RADD?)

Art Evolution: Early action sequences, while good, resembled old fighting and action games (which makes sense within the story). Later action sequences used bullet time, cameras that moved around the characters, Matrix-style, and resembled Dragon Ball Z more than anything.

Goldfish Poop Gang: Gnarl and Kobayashi, though both of them perform Heel Face Turns near the end of the story. Furthermore, Kobayashi subverts the trope by becoming scarily competent right before said Heel–Face Turn.

Running Gag
 Kid Radd (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Whenever Dr Amp explains a piece of science, whoever he's talking to says "So it's a ripoff of X," to which he replies, "Well, Y actually. But yeah." When the player wins Kid Radd's original game, the title character leans in to kiss his 'girlfriend' Sheena, only to be rudely cut off by a Fade to Black and the victory credits. This fate seems to follow the two even once they leave the game; on several occasions, the two lean in to kiss, only to be interrupted by someone or something. Including in the closing animation of the comic.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Radd gives a nicely succinct description of the trope when referring to G.I. Guy: Captain QB decides to have Radd killed, believing that Crystal's plan will help free the rest of the sprites. He later realizes that he was wrong and apologizes profusely to Radd.

Talking Is a Free Action
 Kid Radd (Webcomic) / int_ff5a74c8
comment
Talking Is a Free Action: Averted. Twice, Kid Radd has an inner monologue in the middle of a battle, and both times, he takes another hit as a result of his opponent still attacking and his Mercy Invincibility wearing off. Discussed in one of the "Fourth Wall Week" strips, which discusses how, more often than not, the transition of manga to anime often results in the creation of these to fill time, since it's simpler and cheaper to animate lengthy conversations between characters instead of action sequences.
