The actual size isn’t really that bad. My hand is about as long relative to my head as Danny’s here, though not quite as wide. (Granted, I have large hands.) It’s the proportion of the huge palm to the little stubby fingers that’s the problem.
But the hand in panel three is nothing compared to the Black Lagoon-creature claw-flipper Danny’s got in panel four.
Joe hasn’t even done anything that horrible yet. So far it’s just pennying the dude’s door, telling him to leave, and hanging him in his underwear on a door.
And again, the title matches your commentary!
I know most of the titles seem to be added retroactively, but it’s still amusing. Also, poor Howard.
Compared to his head, it looks decently proportioned, so idk…
Look at his hand in the last panel though, those are some long fingers lol

Nothing on Howard’s even bigger hand from yesterday?
He’s a mutant. Quick, call Professor X.
Or better yet, call the Sentinels.
Might I add that your new gravatar is amazering.
I’ll be honest, it’s no better or worse proportioned than early Dumbing of Age.
Oh, wait, you said HAND. This is why I shouldn’t comment late at night.
Yeah, that hand is pretty fucking massive.
Yeah, I was going back to early DoA, and thinking, “What is Wack’d smoking, the hands look fairly normal.”
To be honest, the true horror here is the horror of your early kerning.
Oh my god yes. I mean, look at the word “reason” in panel three. SO MANY THINGS WRONG.
Wait, did someone call my name?
Please help us Kernanator. You’re our only hope.
And then Howard Slammed my hand in the door!
Well. I totally just spend an entire night reading all these strips. and now I want moreeee.
The original versions of all these strips and the rest are at http://www.itswalky.com/d/19970908.html
The site navigation’s broken though so you’ll have to click the “forward” button a lot to find this page and continue.

You’ve got about 16 years worth of material to cover.
I was going to say something about line thickness, but eh, I couldn’t find anywhere to go with it.

What’s so scarring about that?
I assume that things happened off-panel.
One example of having the perfect gravatar, and the perfect comment.g
I never condone bullying. Nor do I condone Joe. But Howard…. Just Howard….
I don’t know, I feel like a hypocrite for wanting Joe to do bad things to him.
