Are most character left handed?

I know that Mikey is left handed, so I tried to find out if it's also true in Nick version.

I focused on eating scenes. What I found was that not only Mikey ate with his left hand, but all the turtles and April did. Murakami also used his knife with his left hand.

Who I found using right hand to eat were only Splinter and Karai. But there's one time that the turtles ate with right hands.

Well, I'm just curious and think it's a little weird.

edit: Casey also wrote with his left hand.

I guess they're ambidextrous.

There's the ep New Girl in Town where Donnie was writing. I think he was doing so with his right. Same for Plan 10. I think he was drawing with his right.

Some scenes might be flipped for better cinematography, but I'd recon the turtles might be ambidextrous.

Oh, you're right. Donnie used his right hand in both episodes.

And speaking of writing, I just found Casey wrote with his left hand.

I'm glad somebody else notices small things like this. As a lefty myself I'm always paying close attention to silly things like that. I love the fact that not only is Casey a lefty, but, the way he holds his pencil was very leftyish(I don't if that's a word, but, I like it

)

I wonder if this was done on purpose. Interesting how you picked up on this.

I was thinking about the Cockroach Terminator ep and they were eating with their right hands.

In Pizzaface, Mikey is kneading the dough with his right as well as spreading the sauce.

Most cartoon characters are right handed or both unless it's a specific character trait or some kind of important plot point that someone is left handed. It's like 'oh my the right-hand-mind control blaster master didn't work on the last surviving hero because he happened to be left handed' kinda plot point.

I'm right-handed and never even noticed this. Must be a lefty thing.

I'm left handed and I never noticed. Must be a righty thing.

But I'm a righty and didn't notice it either.

This show really does have a lot of detail put into it.

Sometimes I have to pause/rewind to read/look at stuff in the background. I love things like that.

That entire page on him was hilarious. This is definitely my type of comedy.
