Sewer Al is an alligator who appeared in various print material for Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, despite never actually appearing on the show itself.
Background[]
Psychical appearance[]
Sewer Al's appearance varies dramatically. The only constant is that he is a relatively small crocodilian. However, there appears to have been a final model for him, seen in early concept art. He is stooped, moderately fat, wearing a suit, but very disheveled with scraggly hair or a toupee. He is warty and gnarled, with crazed yellow-red eyes. This was reproduced in a coloring book, but his jacket was patched and worn in the book.
Other artists may not have had access to this model when drawing Sewer Al for books. In The Big Cheese Caper, Al is a small, almost cute typical alligator, a chibified version of the crocodile in "Kiwi's Big Adventure", and he has donned a train engineer's outfit (apparently for the occasion of guarding a train car.) In The Missing Eggs Caper, he is hiding behind a door, barely visible except for a tusked head and clawed hand - presumably the artist received limited information. The Sewer Al in Disney Adventures is unlike any other - lithe, strong, and almost a lizard, wearing sunglasses, a vest and hat reminiscent of the early 1980s.
