#46Definitely odd. Despite how much weird and strange things there are in Worlds, this is one of those that you really want an explanation for.
Might be able to just chalk it up to a builder being bored. Nonetheless, decided to provide some details about it.
The texture of this dude is not part of the background (which is only a portal used to view another room), but instead part of the Room itself in Contents, meaning it's in the front. Possibly only added near the end instead of sticking it in the backdrop itself. It's name in the world is 'Rect882DDude', and it's texture is a 256x256 MOV named 'ddude.mov'. D could mean drunk or dead, but it definitely looks like the Dude avatar. I've attached a viewable PNG of the MOV converted.
I could find nothing in the developer notes for this world regarding this, but mostly because RoadRunner was a part of 'lets' and it's mostly just discussing room additions and such.
Might be something mentioning it briefly elsewhere. That's all I really have to share.
