Left handed or Right handed

[Revan]

What is he writing? I thought perhaps a comic book but it looks like words with no pictures.

Funny batman shirt. oh mikey

[Rooish]

Wow. Now that's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

[odupianist]

It's from Vol. 1. Issue 17 I think. It's on the main site. It's a cool story, then you find out it's Mike that's writing it. Just read the synopsis on the site.

The Image series established him as working on a novel, and that series was based on Mirage continuity, so it's possible he was working on a prose story.

Left handed people use the right side of their brain more, so left handed people tend to be quite artistic, more impulsive like Mikey.

Right handed people use the left side of the brain more so can be more logical, more scientific like Don. This is the most common as it is usually the most exercised part of the brain.

wow, Michaelangelo is a lefty huh? I never pegged him as being a left handed person. Is this true in the only the Mirage comics or is this the case in also the new toon?

Actually given the fact that the turtles only have three fingers and are rather blunt and think, I'm supriced they have the dexterity to hold a pen and do such things detailed things like writting and stuff. I wouldn imagine that it would have been more difficut for them.

Maybe I don't hold a pen properly, but I only really use three fingers to hold one.

It's probably not that difficult after 15+ years. I'm sure they have no problem doing the things most people do. Heck, midgets can do the same things as other people they just do it in their own way at their own pace.

Okay, because I am an absolute dork with too much time on her hands, I just taped my fingers together and wrote something. It may look (and feel) awkward, but it's easy-- the guys wouldn't have any problems at all. Also, I'm left-handed so I know how Mike must feel when having to jot something down.

...yeah okay, you can stop laughing now...

Way to do some research there, Kunoichi. We are lucky to have you

I did the same thing, only I tried to go through the entire day

[Roseangelo]

I never questioned the ability to write with only three fingers, but the whole typing thing does puzzle me.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

I imagine they're a bunch of key-peckers. Like how Don was in the second movie.

haha, my sister types with 2 fingers.

sometimes when i'm eating chips or summin i'd only type with one hand, using 4 fingers (since i rarely use my pinky). so with 6 fingers combined im sure they can type just fine.

I noticed in this FF ep that the keys are huge. No problem for are large-fingered friends here.

can't say the same of starlee. she's like "WTF am i supposed to pound it with my fist?"

[Courk]

I was in a cast for a while once due to a broken finger, and I got pretty good at typing with one hand. It's really not that hard. You're slower, sure, but your free fingers learn to pick up the slack, so I don't think the number of fingers would be the biggest hindrance. As I said, it would force them to be just a mite slower, but not too terrible. Though I agree hitting just the intended key may be a bigger challenge with their fingers.

I was going to say "I wonder if their fingers really are that large," but that makes it sound like I can't tell fiction from fact. I don't know how to say this, exactly. I think it would look out of proportion for them to have 3 regular sized fingers on a regular sized palm, so they have a regular sized palm with bigger fingers.

Really? Hmmm. I am right handed, but I am very artistic! Tell me, what do you think of my artwork?



I have never heard of your theory being applied to which hand a person uses. But I have heard of a similar theory, the one where if your eyes look to the right, you are creating or lying but if your eyes look to the left, you are recollecting stuff from your past or telling the truth It's a little test police like to try when interrogating a person in custody!

If I remember correctly, in "The Unconvincing Turtle Titan", Mikey was drawing with his right hand. I could be wrong and I don't have a DVD to verify this, but I could have sworn he was drawing right-handed. Perhaps he's ambidextrous.
