Bearing Arms
I had a hard time rationalizing that someone could be THAT much of a douche, so I made the bully a drunk jock. Not sure if even that covers it…
In any case, this comic is in support of my amputee readers! We stand together, arm in arm! (Sorry!)
By the way, this comic came to be through a brainstorming tool made by Justin over at Invisible Bread. Go read his hilarious scribblings!
(Oh, and the keywords that this comic was based on were “Legs” and “Who sell them?”. The above scenario then somehow came to mind!)
I figured he would just hit the jerk with his arm. Well played!
I agree. Who do you create to be so insensitive? A child. Childern are capable of being really cruel because they are not emotionally mature enough yet to realise how their words or actions can hurt another. Often written off as saying that they just don’t know any better.
I don’t know why all prosthetic hands I see are covered in skin color plastic making it look like a mannequin… If they were like a medieval gauntlet or a cyborg hand the guy wouldn’t look like the guy that lost a hand, he would look like the guy with some badass iron fist!
And I don’t get what the jock jerk is saying… :(
Stan has a ‘thumbs up’, too. An arm for every occasion.
Stan’s Prosthetics… Would that be a reference to Stanley Gimble in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, or a mere coincidence?
Or maybe “Stan” is just the first name that pops into people’s minds when they think about a prostethics enthusiast for some reason.
Also, I love how terrified the drunk looks from getting triple flipped off. :D
Hah, I haven’t played that game so I guess I’ll have to chalk that one up as an awesome coincidence. No, but actually I was thinking about the Stan character from the Monkey Island games. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a prosthetic limb store somewhere in the Caribbean.
