    That is relentlessly professional. Consider that this specific comic would never have been drawn without Gabe first having sliced his thumb open. "Oh shit! Oh shit! ...eh, you know what? Not my drawing hand. Hell with it. Back to work!"

    I got my middle finger pretty good on a mandoline while making french fries, so it was the the julienne blade. Just zip! right through the tip and the nail.

    Cut into my pointer finger at work, but had to hide it from the boss so he wouldn't get in trouble for me not wearing gloves. Bleeding all over the bathroom, trying to decide if I need stitches or not. TIP: Don't eat red cheese.

    I've never cut myself badly on my hands or elsewhere, but I always seem to get mysterious cuts all over my hands and I never know from where. Like it'll be the middle of the guy and I'll be typing and then I'll realize it hurts and then whoah where did all those cuts on my fingers come from.
    Wait, are you...are you typing inside of the guy?

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

    I enjoyed this post far more than what is possibly considered normal.

    This topic makes my skin crawl. And to add to that I chopped off the top of my thumb once while working in a meat department. Bled like a motherfucker. The company response? "Why didn't you use the safety gear?" "I dunno, maybe because you pulled a bagboy off the floor and told him to cut meat with no training. Let me ask OSHA about that." "Oh that's okay."

    When I was in middle school, one of the teachers had a deer head mounted on his wall. One day it just fell down, and the antler impaled a girls arm.

    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.
    They're sinister business plans for re-purposing Penny Arcade to his diabolical purposes once Gabe is no longer there to get in the way.

    Khoo is immortal. He is waiting and watching for weakness.

    As a kid, I cut my thumb open with a very sharp knife. I was on the phone with my sister, and I was holding a length of string, and swiping at it with a new, super sharp knife. It got shorter... and shorter... until *Sching!* "Uh, okay, I gotta hang up now, bye." I knew enough to put pressure on it until the bleeding stopped. It was stitches worthy, but I didn't want to get in trouble, so I just patched it up with a paper towel and electrical tape and hid it from my mom. Pretty big scar, but scars are cool.

    Later, I cut the palm of the same hand open at work. It was funny because when I cut myself, my heart stopped, or at least it seemed like it did. I looked at my hand and saw this very deep cut, but it was just white. No red or anything. Then all of a sudden GUSH. They took me to the company nurse, and was like

    Manager: "So, we gotta go get him stitches."
    Nurse: "Ugh, let me look at it to make sure."
    Manager: "No, he really needs stitches."
    Me: "I am bleeding badly. Please don't move this towel."
    (Nurse pulls back towel anyway. Blood begins to gush again.)
    Nurse: "Okay, you need stitches."

    Anyway, I ended up with 6 stitches, but it was pretty deep. It went most of the way through the fatty tissue, but not quite to the muscle on the thickest part of the palm. So, a smaller scar, but was just bothersome to have stitches. If it weren't the palm of my hand, I'd have been just as happy using tape and paper towels.

    Actually the plans are kept in a vault, right next to the button that Jerry made that launches Mike into space and replaces him with the applegeeks guys.

    I'd like to throw in some advice on blade injuries before this thread closes.

    If someone who is bleeding tells you they don't want to go to the hospital, do not listen to them.

    They are experiencing a traumatic event and aren't in the right frame of mind to make those kind of decisions.

    If it looks like something that needs medical attention, act quickly and call an ambulance so the EMTs can assess the situation and get the person the care they need.

    I had to deal with this when my girlfriend was bitten in the face by a huge, pissed-off cat. It got almost completely through her upper lip and I knew that wasn't going to heal properly without stitches. I was correct. Now she barely has a scar whereas it would have been a puffy mess of scar tissue right on her face had she just applied pressure and slept on it like she was suggesting.
