Mini Q&A: Arm Edition
Someone wrote in with this very topical question, so I thought I'd do a little Q and A. Like old times!
" So, I guess X's arm has some kind of synthetic epidermis so he doesn't go out in public with a terminator arm?" -Anthony
This is basically correct, yes! X now has a pair of "realistic" cybernetic arms that he normally uses. The reveal of the Underground and elimination of the Committee's holdbacks on tech have presumably allowed for a boom in the advancement of prosthetic limbs.
The "seam" between Mr. X's arms and body is not super visible, but I tend to show a hint of it in shots where he's particularly up close, like this one.
Of course, even though X's arms are mechanical, his love of lifting at the gym has not faltered in any way. Plus, I guess he still needs to work his other non-mechnaical upper body muscles. (Is that where the quinticeps are? It probably is.)
Hope you all have a great week, friends! See you on Wednesday with our next comic.

Vancouver Comic Arts Festival
All right! If you're gonna be in Vancouver this weekend, come swing by the Sam & Fuzzy table at this year's VanCAF! It's table e9 in the exhibition hall area. I am well on the mend now, so I'm feeling good about my odds... but if I can't make it, my fabulous wife Jesi will be there holding down the fort. We'll have a ton of S&F t-shirts and all the books, so come on by!
Meanwhile, our Personal Training excerpt continues here on the site today. And my favourite chunk arrives on Monday! Enjoy, and see you then.

Personal Training
At the time I wrote this post (Tuesday), I am still pretty flippin' sick, dogs. In the hopes of giving myself max time to recover, and a chance of still going to VanCAF, I thought I'd put together a little excerpt from my most recent Saucy Hippo Patreon storyline to run over the next couple of updates.
So a little background for you: This story is called Personal Training, and is about Dev's attempts to signal to Mr. X that she is into him. This particular excerpt is a relatively stand-alone series of gags that I think are pretty cute, so if you've never seen 'em before, I hope you enjoy them!
And if you do enjoy them, and are also an adult who enjoys NSFW stories, art and jokes... consider subscribing to the Saucy Hippo Patreon tier! The full version of this story is nearly 50 pages long, and I've been working on it for over a year! It's basically done now... the final pages will be going up later this month. (As soon as I am healthy enough to finish them, haha!) Just please be aware that I'm not kidding around about that "NSFW" tag! It's a very sweet story with lots of cute jokes, but there are also a lot of naked people and smutty things. Plus: Dev swears. It's pretty fucked up.
Anyhoo, I'm going to return to my coma and do my best to power heal. Come back on Friday for our next comic!
