Great comic. I adore the compromised lines and I feel your angst.
I remember trying to ink a comic in college after I fell off a 3-story building, breaking both my legs and tearing the ligaments in my drawing hand. I sat at the art table in a wheelchair sideways [because one leg was fully extended], inking the pencils [I'd drawn before the fall] with my busted hand in a brace. I botched the gig and it got published and I didn't get work at DC Comics for a decade.
thanks so much! i figured the only way to deal with the situation was to be a hard-ass. the only way that stupid finger's ever gonna learn. just like having kids, right? ;->

Re: Careful!

the other hand
I like the subtlety of "on the other hand." I would have had to resist underlining the joke.Rob H.

Re: the other hand
thanks for noticing that! i was wondering if anyone would.the one other "punny" thing i wish i'd been able to fit in there was a mention (or pic) of crossing my fingers...
