We should get him, like, a card or something.

Maybe get some of the folks from the Fan Comics section to whip something up...

Please don't rush yourself on our account, Giant, your health is much more important than drawing stick figures. I had a similar injury many years ago, and I know how serious that can be.

You should definitely take a break from drawing, but maybe you can dictate scripts to someone. I, for one, imagine OOTS issuing from a mind doped up on painkillers could be very entertaining. Of course, if it's anything like the time I had my wisdom teeth pulled, they're probably not the fun kind of painkillers and just make you want to sleep and watch vividly-colored TV shows. In which case, absolutely enjoy the time off!

Clearly broken glass has allied itself with the Arboreal Army, and has attacked Rich in an attempt to demoralise the world and soften us up for an imminent invasion.

All orchestrated by Tarquin in an attempt to steal the spotlight.

Also: everyone multiclass to cleric! Let's get that heal-spamming down! Rich deserves nothing less! Get well soon! I can only imagine how sucky this is.

Hope you get better as quick as you can! Don't feel frustrated about your injury. We'll find something to do. Maybe get some of that late homework from reading OOTS done?

Edit: And to be honest (I'm sorry), I wasn't exactly sure if Rich even had a wife.

As an artist - or someone who draws, anyway - I find the thought of a hand injury particularly frightening. Hope things work out.

It's always unfortunate when something like this happens, and I'm sure you feel terrible that you can't work on OotS, but the forum will live on, with crazy theories to support it until you get truly better.

The true talent is in the brain, not the hand. But admittedly, the hand does have a role.

Rest up, get well, and we'll keep an eye out for some Keoghtum.

Or perhaps he's Neutral. Neutral gets hurt by Holy Word too, you know.

Although we all know how silly that is. The source of this comic could be nothing other than Good.

Viscous... eeeewwwwww! I hope not too viscous! (I am sure you meant "vicious" but the mental picture was too gross to pass by!)

ANYWAY, as an artist, I can only imagine the anguish of losing the art for a month and a half! In that situation I would resort to finger painting - or anything, really - with my left hand. There is no way I could survive that long without some sort of visual-tactile expression. Perhaps you will discover a new talent with your left hand! You may be an left-handed abstract genius, and would never have discovered it without the injury!
