Yeesh! Are you sure it wasn’t broken? Swelling means broken bones, doesn’t it? And you wanna take care of that thumb if it’s on your drawing hand. Don’t want further problems down the road.
I feel your pain, though, I also draw for a living, and a broken window once dropped on my dominant hand. Broke my index and middle finger. They were in braces for a few weeks, and every now and then I still feel little twinges. Take care of your thumb!
I’m a computer jockey by trade and broke my non-dominant arm a few years ago, which still doesn’t make learning to type with one hand any easier. I got pretty adept at right-handed dvorak during that six months my wrist was immobile.
This does remind me of the time you fell off that shuttle bus in Savannah. You threw your hands out behind you to sacrifice your face versus your hands. When I realized you hadn’t smashed your face (thank goodness for all that luggage), I never laughed so hard in my life. Priorities, man. Just give me the word and I’ll hunt the old bat down for ya. (glad your hand is on the mend). Love, T
Woah. That just happened to me three weeks ago, but instead of a slam, it was my tired ass not realizing my thumb was near the hinge while I was slowly closing the door, and…you get the picture. Last row: I know how you feel – very freaky.
I’m glad it wasn’t more serious, and hope everything’s much better soon!
When your nail turns black due to an injury, take an unfolded paperclip and hold the tip over an open flame. Use it to carefully burn a hole at the base of the nail. This will release the pressure of the trapped blood and provide instant relief.
Just wanted to let you know that I just received the Complete K Chronicles from amazon Germany — the first time I bought a book of yours.
I didn’t realize when I ordered how big it is. I’m very impressed with the quality of production and big size comics!
I started browsing and found myself giggling and laughing a lot.I had to drag myself to the PC to let you know, it’s very hard to put away! Now I’ll have to get all the other books, too.
Hi Keef, thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I’ve seen the calendar — great! What’s that slideshow you’re doing? A best of of all your work?
Just too bad that I’m from way down south, so I think these places are too far for me :-(
Anyhow, hope you’ll have a great time!
Meanwhile, I’ll try growing your German fan base by pointing my friends to your stuff… :)
So you’re a lefty in more ways than one! No wonder I like this strip. Also congrats for successfully holding back the symbol words and enduring the extra pain in front of the Incredible Cuteness of Being! I’ve been less successful at this ever since I found out how effective said words are at fixing computer problems.
Yikes! Good thing it wasn’t more serious, and I’m glad you apparently had enough cartoons backed up to tide you over for the duration!
Also, I’m impressed that you could restrain the swears!

And get well soon!
