Title: The "Missing Arm"
Post by: PO8 on December 09, 2009, 11:15:52 am
Love the comic.

However, let me suggest a simple proofreading-style regression test to be applied to every comic.  Check each panel for an image of Maytag.  For each such image you find, verify that she is missing her left arm.

Seriously, this is driving me nuts.  That stupid thing appears and disappears like a Christmas light.

Alternatively, you could find a way to give her her arm back sooner.  We all know it's coming.

Thanks for listening!  :)

Maybe that arm is supposed to be gone permanently?
I mean just look at the banner:

no left arm.

That banner is a cropped shot of the chapter 17 cover, her arm is there.

Hell, I love the appearing and disappearing arm.

The pages are like collectors items... if you can get them quick enough before Brion replaces it.

Shh.  Let Brion do his thing.  We know May'll get her arm back in time.  I'm sure it's pretty easy to keep adding in an arm, too. XD After drawing so many with four limbs, rather than three.  And I think it might start getting annoying to him if we all keep bringing it up. :(

I think it has more to do with you liking Lobsters so much, cause Lobsters do grow back limbs. You must learn to separate Maytag from a Lobster. It will be hard, but I believe you have the power to do it!

Maybe may will gain lobster genes via thin-man-enhancement and brion just practices to draw her spontaneous limb regrowal power, making it look like he keeps doing that on accident.

I always thought it was because Brion assumed Maytag was secretly a lobster.
