#39: The Excised Extremities.
Ever wondered why SGM is always depicted without hands? Well, here’s a shot from early in his career.

No biggie …
Looks like hes awready regrowin his fingrs.
Nice to see the detached head features early on too.
I love the design of those early warp reactors.
The King
Joey: It does look that way, although subsequent history shows that his regenerative abilities weren’t very well developed…
King Willy: Although his head is often depicted as being ‘severed’ we must assume it’s attached somehow since he rarely appears to lose it… My hypothesis is that he keeps it around through the use of Shoo!MAN waves.
Cissy Strutt: Yes, interesting. There is an implication that it might even re-attach in that diagram. Oviously false hope.
Thatll teach him to raid th Ark o th Covenant.
DANG!
… And that was his GOOD arm!
It was his only arm by the look of it.
I like the useful arrow on the right which is a guide to where his hand can be found after the excitement dies down.
Thank heavn for th circle & slash …
… else th sign mighta been sayin, “Reach inside and see if ya cant snag yerself a extra hand or sompm.”
Yeah – it could be a warning about using secondhand machinery…
