Comics, the south-paw industry. (PG-13ish)

I was listening Terry Gross talk to comic-book historian Craig Yoe about the little known fetish art/porn of Joe Shuster when I recalled something that Sarah noticed at S.P.A.C.E.

C'mon, whip with your back!

I've got no problem with Joe drawing a little S&M but it turns out he was drawing it with... HIS LEFT HAND!!! Yes Joe Shuster, much like what it turns out to be roughly 90% of comic book artists, is a south paw. Sarah, a left handed beauty, noticed as we were walking the aisles of S.P.A.C.E. that most of the artists were drawing as though they lived in a bizzaro world. After double checking that we weren't looking into some sort of frightening mirror that reversed everything we found out the awful truth that south-paw fever had struck at the heart of the independent comics community.


So please remember if you start feeling the urge to switch-hit or you see your child trying to write with their left hand slap that hand and slap it hard... otherwise they'll never achieve their full potential.
