Panel 3: "There's a caterpillar on your face - here, let me get that for you."

They might need just a biiiit more "convincing" before they're ready to do so :D

eh; rather than looking like an awesome martial arts move, that final panel looks more like master fei's just broken his own arm several times.

just saying.

One reason I'm not an avid comic book reader is that I have trouble following the action. This, on the other hand, is the most well-drawn martial arts still I have ever seen. Thank you so much for showing how it is to be done!

Dunno what you're talking about. I can easily turn my arm that way, in that position. Just twist at the shoulder.

not with any real force though; the arm would be completely at the edge of its range of motion.

1) If you are using arm and nothing else to generate force then you are doing something wrong.

2) In that particular area there are many soft squishy and painful things that don't need much force. I've actually been nearly knocked out when my Sensei decided to give me a rather light tap in that general area, though maybe a little more into the neck area, to demonstrate the power of knowing weak points.

3) Looks to be more of a grab than a strike possibly followed by a seriously kickass throw.

Also, totally forgot to draw thumbs again. :p

All your points are exactly correct except for the part about me forgetting to draw thumbs! They're just obscured by something (in most cases another part of his hand).

(also I'm not going to say he's setting him up for a "throw" but he's setting him up for SOMETHING -- which will be revealed on Friday :D)

On a minor note I think the page would work better if you didn't use the action lines for Fatty McMook's club that you use for Fei's unstopable five-fisted mantis strikes as it would emphasize that Fei is Swiftyblur Unstoppableguy and the other guys may as well be standing still.

Come on now, Fei isn't even trying. Look how not over the top pissed he is; that's the secret to his strength.

Edit: That and tea, like Popeye.
