Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Rich!

Thankfully my OoTS game and Sticky Shticks arrived a couple weeks
ago --- as yet unopened. So I'll have something to stave off OoTS
withdrawal until you are back in the saddle again.

Rich, we all wish for the order of the stick to continue. For that to happen you must rest WELL. No pushing it like the badass characters! Fact is order of the stick is a very long term creation, thus you must know that we can wait the short term so we may enjoy the long term.

Take all the time you need to heal. Nerve damage isn't something to mess around with. We all know and appreciate all the hard work you've done with the kickstarter and the comic, don't let yourself get to down in the dumps. It's a true fact that optimistic patients heal faster

Also, thanks Mrs. Giant for the update, we're all thinking of you too in this difficult time.

Whatever floats your boat.

I'm thinking its the former, though.

Having personally stepped on a single shard of glass, I cringe at the kind of pain from an accident involving several of those nasty little things.

If only there were a cleric who could cast Heal on you right now. Get well soon Rich.

We tend to do that WITH updates as well.

I spent three months in a partial cast due to auto accident myself. The doctor had to fuse my right thumb's MCP joint (the joint that joins the finger or thumb to the palm of the hand). Rich, speaking from personal experience, take your time and let it heal properly.

Really sorry to hear you are hurt Rich.

Get well soon.

Much as we all want more OotS, please make sure you are fully healed before you resume drawing.

Don't worry about the comic, your fans care more that you're alright! Here's to a speedy recovery.

Get well Giant. As others have said, rest up and don't try to get back to work until you are sure you are ready.

Severed tendons? Ow... Tendons can really hurt, I hate to even think about how it feels when one is growing back together, let alone multiple.

I hope you get a fast recovery, and don't worry about us. Getting your hand working again takes priority. The last thing we want is for the injury to become permanent, after all.

Here's wishing for you getting a complete recovery. Sadly, I cannot cast Wish, so it'll have to be the boring old fashioned real world kind of wish instead.

Wait, I have a better idea! What we need is a mind-reading hat that transmits his artistic vision directly to his computer screen. That way he doesn't need his hands at all!

On a more serious note, as much as I love your comic, your health is more important. Take as long as you need, we'll all still be here when you come back.

Dear Rich

Oots is beautiful story. Thank you for the wonderful gift. I have re-read oots many times and will re-read it for the rest of my days (may they be many). I pray for your health to return. I appreciate so much all you have brought into this world through oots, through your story-craft, through the community you have built, through your willingness to keep giving while asking very little, through your deep understanding of humanity and the tool you have been so skilled at sharing your wisdom in so gentle a way.
