Zorilla really would give his left arm to save his son.
Jude
If the day ever comes that some maniac slices off my arm, I hope I can stay as stoic as Mr. Zorilla has, with a mere “ow!” I also hope that a skilled medibot’s on hand to re-attach it as I’m sure Mr. Zorilla’s will be.
Owen Smith
Don’t be so sure Mr. Zorilla is going to get his own arm back. Other options could be much funnier.
Evyl Keith
Indeed (evyl chuckle and smyle that would make Headly La Marr envious) indeed, funny. Yes, funny…and other things. Must make a note to have that right arm replace with a cluster of tentacles.
TB
Yeah, this would be a lot more horrifying in a world where spare limbs aren’t practically dispensed in vending machines.
Mic
Well, fuck. Did not see that coming D:
Meran
Me neither! I actually ~guffawed!
KQY
This really is going down the road of Monty Python’s Black Knight! 😛
PeterK
Welp. Dad actually managed to do something kinda right there. Good for him.
Tobias
Well, he’s now missing a left, so right was pretty much his only option.
AlInfamous
We know what happened that last time a matured person talked to Medibot.
Peter Rogan
Ahem.
“It’s all fun and games until somebody loses an arm.”
There. I said it.
That said, it’s going to be interesting to see how Mauricio’s psychosis processes maiming the dad he wasn’t really sure he had. (P)ause, (R)ewind, (U)ndo, (D) Redo?
Also, Hypock is right. Mauricio IS disarming.
FlySwatter
I can honestly say “I didn’t see that coming”, despite the fact that you clearly (in retrospect) telegraphed the joke. I’m unsure if this qualifies as a “bravo” or “golf clap” moment. Take both Chris.
Good luck tying a tourniquet when one hand is a buzz saw.

@Herb, no, you simply get Hypock to use the laser blaster to cauterize the wound.
Randall R. Besch
In that world cutting off an arm is a flesh wound. I really thought Mr. Zorilla would get a more grievous wound like in the heart or cut in half…
Though reattachment could be possible if they are good at regrowing and mending nerves. Though he will bleed out in seconds if they don’t get him in a medibot triple time pronto!
If not used more carefully a LASER can just turn you to exploding vapors. But when my middle toe was amputated they did us heat to cauterize it closed.
Another one of those open mouthed scenes that have a humor chaser. OH!!!
Gregg Eshelman
Have to have a bit of a stump to apply a tourniquet for a severed arm to not be very quickly result in fatal exsanguination. The left and right brachial arteries are up there with the descending aorta to the legs and the carotid arteries for fast bleed out.
That’s what Otzi “the iceman” died of. Stone arrowhead that cut his left brachial artery.
Surfer Bethany Hamilton got her left arm bit off by a shark, fortunately leaving just barely enough for another person at the scene to get his belt on for a tourniquet.
Gregg Eshelman
Bethany lost 60% of her blood in the short time between the shark chomp and having her arm stump constricted.

It can be amazing what you learn reading comments. ??
Because of 2 of my other webcomic reads, I’ve learned SO MUCH about European culture and politics, specializing in the Scandinavian countries. And how it all compares to the US, and sometimes other countries on other continents.

Ha! Thank you, @Flyswatter! 🙂
