Ah, Gabe is in the classic contrapposto posture. Very good.

I enjoyed this comic

I am now trying to remember the plot to rumplestilskin but I keep getting it confused with rapunzle.

Then I start thinking about tangled and now I'm just plain confused.

MY HAAAAAAAAAAAND

BROTHERRR!

Houk

One time my girlfriend sliced her thumb open with a paring knife and she kinda flipped out. I had no idea what to do other than put pressure on it till it stopped bleeding, then clean it out and bandage it up. It was pretty late when it happened and she didn't wanna go to the hospital, so we went the next day.

The doctor said we'd waited too long and he was reluctant to stitch it up, but she'd cut pretty deep so he did it. While he was anesthetizing and scrubbing it, she had a mild panic attack and started laughing kind of maniacally. It was a pretty weird experience.

That is my story of people cutting hands.

JAEF

Not one, not two, but three glorious panels, each one roasting in its own expressional juices. What a good day.

Blake T

Oh yeah I have a story about cutting my hand.

A sliced it open with a knife.

It was buy accident of course.

I was opening a beer bottle with it.

Dox the PI

I nearly cut of my left thumb with a knife when I was 8

Then my right middle finger nearly got cut of when I was 14

Arrath

Heh, oddly appropriate comic. A friend of mine just cut his hand open with a machete this weekend.

I read this and thought of Mxyzptlk.

isn't there a comic where Gabe draws everything with his off hand

or am I thinking about Rejected?

Brodo Faggins

Well there was that one where they "separated" and drew their own strips.

SLyM

One of my friends got a present wrapped in duct tape for his birthday once, so I let him use my pocketknife to open it, except he somehow managed to hold it backwards, and cut his thumb open pretty bad.

Way to make me feel like a terrible friend, ya jerk.

Firematic.

I believe he tried to draw left handed at the make-a-strip at PAX east 2010? I remember there were some pretty crude outlines of Gabe to which he added a massive but equally crude dick and proceeded to rape the regular panel characters with it.
Also, hand injury thread! My thumb print is now totally messed up because I sliced part of it open with a deli slicer and fixed it using tape and toilet paper.

ThreadbareSock

I want to know how Khoo handled this news. I suspect he has emergency plans for such disasters. I bet they are tucked neatly into manila envelopes in the locked bottom drawer of his desk, next to a pistol and a bottle of ether.

BlackDove

Pretty sure Kurtz or Straub or guest comics or maybe even a stand in that can emulate Gabe's art style has probably been worked out.

Heh.

When I was a child, I sliced open the palm side of my right index finger, right where the finger bends. Now there's scar tissue preventing me from pointing it straight.

ThreadbareSock

Don't cut things towards your palms, people. I'm taking to you, bagel-aficionados.

Number 1, The Larch

I cut things, sometimes with knives. Sometimes I cut myself with these knives on accident.

theSquid

I cut pretty deep into my hand with a FRED on accident once. That's about it.

Hunter

That's a lot of blood there. Was Gabe juggling chainsaws or perhaps hand feeding his piranha tank?

Well, where were you with this advice yesterday, before I cut my hand slicing that bagel?

Actually I cut my thumb. Stupid bagel.

ArcSyn

Once caught a sword that had slipped from its sheath while a friend was carrying it. I did not realize that this was not one of the prop swords, but a fully sharpened to razor sharp sword. Cut every finger, my palm, and between my thumb and finger on the double-sided blade. Didn't think it was too bad at first until I nearly passed out and couldn't stop the bleeding. Most of them turned out to be superficial, but it sliced pretty deeply on my middle finger and had to get it stitched.

I think there's a girl (maybe a princess?) who can spin gold on a sewing machine or something? And Rumplstiltskin says she can go free if she can guess his name?

Platy

The father of the girl lied and said she could spin straw into gold. The king then put her into a tower and said that she would be executed if she didn't spin the straw there into gold. Rumpelstiltskin helped her out but he demanded that the girl's first-born child would be his.

Darth Waiter

I don't know how many times I've sliced open my flesh while bartending; broken glass is an occupational hazard. I can tell you this, though: black electrical tape would cover 50% of the joints of my fingers by the end of a busy week.

Darth Waiter

#pipe, I want you to know that I watch Bananaphone at least once a day and it makes everything about my shitty life suck a little less.

jackal

Baker: My daughter is quite attractive.
Butcher: My daughter is very smart.
Miller: (knowing that his daughter is fairly homely and dumb as a box of hammers) My daughter can spin straw into gold.
*word spreads to the king*
King: I will kidnap this girl and execute her if she doesn't produce gold from straw because I'm the king, bitch!
Miller's Daughter: Well I'm fucked. This is a pretty fucked up thing to be happening.
Rumplst... whatever: I'll spin straw into gold for you if you give me your necklace, ring and first born child.
Miller's Daughter: What are you going to do with a child?
Rumplst...: Eat it, probably.

anyway... yada yada yada, the king (who is a pretty horrible person) is so impressed that he marries the girl (what a prize, she gets to marry a giant douche!). They have a child, Rumpl comes back for his payment, but agrees not to take the child if she guesses his name in three days. Someone overhears his bragging which includes his name. This person tells the girl (now the queen), she tells Rumpl his name. He gets pissed off because he feels she must have cheated (which technically she did) and leaves, or kills himself in his rage, or explodes killing everyone.

The moral, fairy tales are horrible.

Darth Waiter

That is a very fine synopsis, Jackal, well done.

My grandmother owned a copy of the original versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales, sadly it was lost in a pretty bad fire. Some of those stories are pretty fucking gruesome. Cinderella's step-sisters actually tried cutting off their own toes to fit into the glass slipper.

Yeah, time for more Bananaphone.

Platy

He tears himself in two.

Tef

I had 30 Stitches in my arm when I cut it around 3 years ago. By the time I staggered into ER I was soaked in blood it was horrible

I did this, but I was using a plastic knife so I figured I'd be okay. Then I cut my hand open... with a disposable plastic knife.
