All I have to say is: Bwwahahaha! At all of you. Hilarious and I’m SO glad that other, like myself, have been bothered by such an obvious mistake that SOMEone should have noticed it!

Plus, of course: long-arm casts are incredibly funny.

Obviously he learned how to do the “uniform under cast” trick from Wildcat. He pulled it off, going from towel+cast to uniform+cast while the mansion is under attack by the Injustice Society in JSA #10, as review by you: http://politedissent.com/archives/173/

Best reason for a short arm cast is professional wrestling.
He may need to offer someone the hand of friendship …
and deliver a knee to the groin!

Rowdy Roddy Piper is infamous for this.

I happened to see your blog from few days ago.
I’m learning a lot from your comments on House episodes.Thanks.
Hmm, I have a question to you. Could you explain the costs-payment system of the House patients?
They do lots of procedures, and who can afford those if patients shoud pay them all?
How the insurance companies intervene? Is the House’s hospital special at this point?
Of course it is a nothing but shows , but they don’t comment about money at all.

Obviously, he’s trying for sort of workman’s comp fraud, wearing casts that can be removed at will. What I don’t understand is the sling. I see the front of the sling. Where’s the back? Is this some sort of new model sling that fastens to an epaulet or maybe straight down to his waist band?

Maybe there actually *are* some magic casts in the Batcave? Batman might get many such small but useful magic items as gifts from friends like Zatanna after a team-up!

Love your blog. You are the Robert Ingersoll of medical experts, only without the word padded columns and you’re a better read.

What Bob said. This is the kind of thing my husband notices all the time. It really ought to be the editor’s job to notice it, but you know they’re only human so sometimes it slips past. And the artists have to look at the page for hours while they work, so for the inker NOT to notice that during the course of his/her workday and say “wait a second, it covers the elbow here but not here, maybe I should just get on the phone and ask which one to go with to make it consistent”… well, like I say, Robin is consistently pro-active on stuff like this, so it always surprises me when other artists aren’t.
