Fun fact: if the girl punched with the same velocity as a mantis shrimp, her arm would have come out of her shoulder socket joint.

I can see how that would be slightly disadvantageous for the second fight, yes.. 🤔

Well she got 2 arms, doesn't she? :>

Sure looks like It. On the other hand (pun intended), as far as I'm informed, most boxers actually need to use BOTH arms in order to win..

Not if you punch with the velocity if a mantis shrimp

Gotta be a pretty crazy opponent to not just concede after seeing this fight.

But then again, whoever comes up for the 3rd fight will have it easy

The good thing is if she can land the punch, a second fight won't be necessary :D

Except a championship usually consists of more than one fight.. Unless she's already the defending champion or top challenger.

In which case she probably could have won fairly 🤷

I think if my opponent removed the head of their last challenger and still had an arm left, I’d back out of that fight. I imagine next in line would too

Depends: you could have been trained by immortal Chinese sorcerer Lo Pan, evening the odds out somewhat 😉

Time to learn from the crustacean how to grow arms as well

If I had a nickel for every time I'd been given that exact advice from a well-meaning boxing expert..

Aren't the strong body parts what allows them to punch so fast? Therefore if she was able to punch so fast her body should be fine as well

I would be inclined to agree with you, but shoulder dislocation during a punch is not uncommon in boxing. There was a viral video regarding this where the boxer dislocated his arm due to the sheer force of his punch (missed the opponent), the coach put it back in, and then went on fighting in the same round.

Unless if she also have enamel laminated fist, then yeah she would be unharmed while whoever received those punch will be pulverised.

But if she hit the target, which hopefully had enough resistance, all she would have is a comminuted fracture.

Since she's larger than a mantis shrimp, I'd be inclined to scale up the speed accordingly.

Love the menacing/triumphant stance the shrimp is taking in the hat

I'm pretty sure this comic was originally created in reference to Another Crab's Treasure

Pretty sure it's a reference to a real life shrimp called the mantis shrimp, which the game is referencing as well.

Pretty sure it's a reference to Ratatouille, hence the hat

Pretty sure it's a reference to boxing, because of the gloves and the ring.

Pretty sure is in reference to Mayan murals, because of the use of different pictures to tell a story.

Pretty sure it's about colors, hence the red and brown etc

Pretty shore

Sorry I’m out at a beach and just commenting on the first thing I see

Peaches order!

Sorry I picked up a box of peaches and just excited about it
