Added 2019-07-26 03:51:39 +0000 UTCGoofy bit of trivia:
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... (๐)

2019-07-26 17:04:38 +0000 UTCNone. 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!

2019-07-26 16:54:27 +0000 UTC*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 :)

2019-07-26 16:50:49 +0000 UTCSorry for being a nitpicky prick in the comments again, it started from not being sure if I understood the foreign word

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

2019-07-26 16:47:33 +0000 UTCI'm sure I just drew it badly~ http://prntscr.com/okesu7

2019-07-26 13:51:27 +0000 UTCYeah, that was a forehand with some heavy topspin.

Anyway, I agree. I'd call it a bitchslap myself. (Historical usage, the term shouldn't exist but since it does...)

2019-07-26 05:56:15 +0000 UTCI don't understand the usage of the word backhand, the stroke in the comic is going in the opposite direction.
