How about using your recessive hand and passing off the results as a drawing by one of your characters, like when Richard Thompson showed Peter Otterloop ’s view of Christmas?
I thoroughly sympathize Amanda. Recovering from wrist surgery on my dominant hand was frustrating even with very good PT. And we had a plumbing crisis in the middle of it when I had to write down phone numbers and instructions and hope I could decipher it later. Not sure how much computer drawing programs would help either …. You still have to manipulate a mouse or stylus.
My hand is fine, currently – just had that one time where it swelled and hurt. I think they said it was tendonitis? Or that was a theory. I’m not sure they knew. I was never prescribed anything. Just to alternate warm and cold.

Or learning to grasp your stylus with your toes.

For the immediate pain and inflammation, aspirin and alternating warm and cool packs. And then see an orthopedist.

Sorry to hear about your hand. However, one of the perks of living in the Dakota, put up blank panels and tells us your in a snow storm! Ha ha! :)

Just draw with your other hand and tell us your smarty pants younger self is doing the drawing.

One trick I’m guessing other cartoonists use to get out of drawing…go into returns.

That sounds painful. I hop it never happens again.

Out of boredom, I taught myself to write and draw with my left hand. Came in, handy, when my right shoulder got dislocated!
