    I think I would just stick a pencil into my stump and draw with my elbow. Assuming I had an elbow.

    Every panel in this is hilarious from the weird drawing with the off hand to the humans with antenna to the imageless panel 4, but I think the best part is ''oh fiddle-dee-dee''. This is by far one of your best comics. Did you actually draw panel 2 with your off hand?

      Actually this whole comic came out of the idea of: "What if I had to draw the strip with my left hand?". I was originally gonna challenge myself to do just that, but quickly came to the conclusion that it would be difficult and frustrating. Then I decided to do just one panel drawn with my left hand, but after a few seconds of penciling I realized that the panel would just be an incomprehensible mess, so I just drew it (sloppily) with my right hand.

    "inevitably falls off" shouldn't there be an insurance for that?

      2 words: Preexisting condition

      @adam: There is no such thing as too many pancakes

        Correction: There is no such thing as too much Bacon. Pancakes are very filling, and sooner or later, you've got to stop. However, like dessert, there is always room for Bacon.

          Just because you can’t EAT the pancakes doesn’t mean you have too many pancakes. #Deadpool

        There is no arm loss insurance cause It’d cost an arm and a leg 😛 It’d be counter productive….

    Is this how Left-Handed Toons got started? (also, in the 1st panel I thought bug had sprouted a wing before I figured out it was the back of his chair. D'oh.)

    You know what's funny? I could see Nerdbug and Bug in the third panel, and ignored their humanity. It's the dialogue and context which brings them to life in my mind; having followed them this long, there's an attachment to them, regardless the form. I rarely comment, but I had to say that. The best strip ever, for me!

    One can only wonder what the terrifying bug from the nudist strip looks like panel three style.

    Shouldn't the last panel be wobbly the second or are your writing and drawing hands different? 🙂

    I knew it, panel two is a lie, it's not messy, just stylized.

    And to answer, first, I'd become a bum, since i rely on my art to live. Then I suppose I would have to assert my authority over the Bum underground and become the homeless godfather… heck… that sounds like a better deal than I've got now!

    So funny!! I was wondering if you drew that panel with your left hand too. Hahaha… good thing we didn't inherit that left-handedness from dad!

    This comic is great and actually deals with my greatest fear! I don't think there's any good solution. Maybe create a clone of myself?

    I died when I read the second panel. Especially when I saw the bug staring in horror at his curly fingers. XD
