Question - 249

Identify both.

Answer: The giant rat is splinter, the sensei of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. The man in the visual is Hamato Yoshi, a martial arts expert who taught splinter his skills. In one version of the comics, Yoshi himself mutates into a giant rat (splinter) while in another, he is just the owner of splinter who gets killed in a gang fight and whose death splinter avenges using the turtles. Trevor Burnham, Raghu and vs got it. Well done.

This is from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The man on the left is Hamato Yoshi; the rat on the right is his pet, who became Splinter, the sensei to the turtles.

(I loved that cartoon as a kid. Watching it on Saturday mornings was something I looked forward to all week.)
