Artist's Comments

Read the Japanese way. Right to left.

My art teacher used to tell me it was impossible to draw a perfect circle free-hand... But not only can Ed draw a perfect circle, he can draw it with his hands literally tied behind his back! (re: Barry the Chopper episode)

Damned Amestrians and their innate sense of... geometry!

And HEY! Did you know that the Elric brothers are ambidextrous? Although Ed seems to prefer his left hand, especially after he lost his right arm? Watch him when he draws his transmutation circles. He almost always does it with his left hand. And he writes, eats, and shoots a gun with his left hand too. XD He still tends to hold knives and spears with his right though.
Al, however, seems to use both without a real preference.

I had to read it through twice before I realised it was right to left... I suck ^^;

I didn't notice they were ambidextrous... I noticed that Sephiroth [FFVII] is left handed though :D

The poor man.... DX Not the geometry kit!! Even at home i can't get away from the geometry!!! :faint:

*cough* Ahem, sorry bout that. >.>;; But really, this is quite humorous. And wow, they can use both hands? *has never bothered to watch that carefully* I'll have to watch out for that. BTW, Love the comic, it makes me laugh. :giggle:

Man, you're really observant but hey, someone has to be.

Liked the little doujinshi. *shakes fist* Damn those circles. And damn that geometry!

xDD

My art teacher said only insane people can draw a perfect circle freehand. T___T;; Does this make people who know all that geometry insane?

... >__>; XDD Haha.

O.O And I never really noticed that! I mean, I would figure that Ed would rather use his left arm more often now for more "precise" things, but I never really gave much though to it. @.@ Random little facts like that SPARK my mind XD I also found out recently that Link is left handed! O__O;; I never really played the Zelda games myself (I am an observer when it comes to games mostly, including cool ones @_@ ^^; ) so that's probably why I didn't notice until it was pointed out to me. x_x;; ehehehe.

>.> The guy that is learning alchemy's "face"... just AMUSES me so much. XDD

Wake up.
