Years and years and years ago I used to RP video game nonsense with friends over AIM. Duane got his start in these chat RPs when a friend of mine needed someone to play the bit character brother of her character Grissom, from a game we adored called Vagrant Story. This bit character who was known in the game only as "Commander Duane" has only half a dozen lines but in one of his two scenes he backhands a soldier just like Claggart is doing here to our Duane.
It took almost twenty years but finally sweet justice.

I was sure you'd cast spells and run people through with swords. So disappointed... (😘)

How often do you get an itch to draw a certain visual, and script to make that happen?
Duke BG
There were no fuck ups in the drawing! *smooch returned*
Ashley
None. Nor have I ever cast a spell or run someone through with a sword. If it's in the script though, I have to do my best to draw it :) Sorry if I fuck it up sometimes!
Duke BG
Also, (I feel like I'm submiting a tumblr ask with this), if you don't mind a personal question, how much experience of slapping people's faces IRL do you have? (I have little myself)
Ashley
*smooch* I've always understood it simply to mean striking someone with the back of your open hand, instead of the palm or a fist. That's all :)
Duke BG
Sorry for being a nitpicky prick in the comments again, it started from not being sure if I understood the foreign word
Ashley
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Duke BG
That's still not a backhand swing, it's a forehand swing with reorienting your hand with the dorsal side (for some reason. Why wouldn't you slap with the palmar side? I think I remember from somewhere that the dorsal side kind of slap hurts the victim less? Not sure). With the backhand swing you start with the hand across your torso and bring the hand away from yourself
Ashley
I'm sure I just drew it badly~ http://prntscr.com/okesu7
Jeremy Ball
Yeah, that was a forehand with some heavy topspin.
akrasia
He hit him so hard, it rebounded back? The weird khert lights are flickering, making fast movement look backwards? The camera wasn't sync'd to the lights? I dunno. Anyway, I agree. I'd call it a bitchslap myself. (Historical usage, the term shouldn't exist but since it does...)

Lem is holding Will's hand I'm gonna cry ;-;

I don't understand the usage of the word backhand, the stroke in the comic is going in the opposite direction.
