Post-Apocalypse[]

Season 1[]

"Puppies and Kittens"[]

He was first encountered in the episode 1, where he is seen selling weapons to Doc, Mack and Addy.

"Welcome to the Fu-Bar"[]

He is seen with Skeezy, where they host the S&S Unlimited gun show in Kansas. As zombies overrun the gun show, both he and Sketchy escape in their box truck full of weapons and ammo.

Season 2[]

"Down the Mississippi"[]

When the team comes to the Mississippi, on the boat, after quickly dispatching of the Z's, the team heads south and runs into Sketchy and Skeezy. They've just looted Graceland and are practicing a new scam called "The Murphy," where they pass Skeezy off as a "zombie messiah" who, in exchange for supplies, will "cure" anybody who wants to be immune to the zombie virus by biting them.

The boat is overrun by a zombie jam and 10K gets caught up in the various shenanigans of Sketchy and Skeezy, including a run–in with a pack of gun-toting hillbillies from whom they narrowly escape by claiming to be able to immunize from the Z virus via Skeezy's rather artless bite.

Sketchy, Skeezy, and 10K come across a dentist's truck and drive it to a nearby town and are all welcomed into the fold because the truck had zombies in it. There they are put on trial by none other than Escorpion for stealing the truck. The Scorpion sentences them all to hanging, luckily they are saved by the gang.

Season 3[]

"Election Day"[]

When Addy and Doc's commandeered truck breaks down, they are approached by a presidential motorcade carrying none other than Sketchy and Skeezy who claimed to have "commandeered" the former presidential limousine of Bill Clinton, and use it as a part of their new scam tactic where Sketchy pretends to be the President of the United States and will tell survivors that in exchange for a generous donation of supplies, that they will protect them from zombies by building a large wall.

Season 4[]

"Frenemies"[]

As the team are stuck tracking through the city of Chicago in the middle of a storm with seemingly hazardous foam they accidentally split up. Murphy and Doc comes across a barber shop and find Sketchy and Skeezy, as well as another man, inside. Sketchy and Skeezy are noticeably worried about the presence of Doc and Murphy and would try and subtly warn them to leave. After Doc recognizes the unknown man as a theif who robbed him named Tony Cue-Ball, chaos ensues as Doc, Murphy, Sketchy, and Skeezy fight Tony and his associate. Tony and his associate eventually regain control and hold the group hostage. Soon after ,10k and Sarge join the group and are also held hostage. After another scuffle, in which Murphy releases a zombie, who "bites" Skeezy, the group vote to exile Skeezy outside. Before the exile, Sketchy kisses Skeezy in order to transfer a key to Skeezy. After Skeezy is exiled, another duo enters the shop, and attempts to rob the group. Thanks to Sketchy, the robbers intend to transfer the group into the basement of the shop, which is infested with zombies, however as soon as the robbers open the hatch to the basement, the zombies attack them. After yet another scuffel, Tony and his associate emerge victorious and once again hold the remaining group hostage, this time with the intent of killing them, yet before they kill the group they are killed by debris from the blast of a RPG-7 fired by Skeezy. It is then revealed that Sketchy and Skeezy intended to take the barber shop for themselves and retire from being con-men. At the end of the episode, Sketchy is seen discussing his future with Skeezy to which the episode ends with the duo laughing manically while cleaning the shop.

Season 5[]

"Doc's Stoned History"[]

Sketchy, along with Skeezy, reenact a stoned Doc's vision of American history to George.

Trivia[]

  • He is the creator of the Z-Whacker.
  • He is one of the two random characters who are still alive, the other being Skeezy.
  • He and his friend Skeezy are based on, and a homage to, the fox and the cat from the fairy tail Pinocchio. They were slick, conniving villains, with the fox being the intelligent swindler and the cat being the dimwitted and mangy best friend of the fox.
  • Sketchy is based on "Honest" John Foulfellow, the Disney rendition of the fox villain from the movie Pinocchio.
  • In Season 4, the episode Frenemies possibly hints that he and Skeezy are actually involved in a gay relationship. After he gives Skeezy a long, convincing kiss, they use the distraction to get out of danger. Yet Skeezy still shows romantic feelings while Sketchy never gives a definite show of whether he was just faking, or whether the kiss was real.
