MCs and comic artists Marty Day and Ross Nover are like the human versions of Mystery Science Theater 3000 robots, totally hilarious, and both are among the five original creators of Super Art Fight. Here the duo stands below the spinning ‘Wheel of Death.’ Contestants pull a lever and the wheel spits out a topic that is then improvised in illustration, topics like robots, tophats, or Mystery Science 3000.

Charm City Roller Girl Chelsea Grose , or as she’s known to fans “Gross Misconduct” is no stranger to a fight. Chelsea – who is also a designer and website developer – trades jabs with the un-intimidated artist Kelsey Wailes, a woman who’s website lists her tools of the trade as: “Rubber tubing, gas, saw, gloves, cuffs, razor wire, hatchet, Gladys, and my mitts.” Follow the link and see for yourself.
