That is so true. I never really thought of that. 😮🤯

Today’s left-handed character is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III from How To Train Your Dragon (books)

LEFT HANDERS!

Once upon a time in Australia

We were frowned upon!

I was frowned upon by teachers and many others!

We were called "CACKY HANDERS" ... Misha

Aoiugghghh hang on. Carver comforting romanced Anders after Hawke gets left in the fade. They may not like each other, barely tolerating the others presence, but after Hawke is gone sharing stories of them is the only way the two of them stay sane. Carver hearing the news and immediately seeking out Anders because that's what Hawke would have wanted, for anders to be safe, and now that they're gone, suddenly obeying his sibling's wishes doesn't seem so awful.

Hey, check it out! An EXTRA strip this week in celebration of International Left Hander's Day! As I was drawing this, I actually DID Google real-life left-handed folks and found out that a LOT of Simpsons characters are lefties because the show's creator, Matt Groening is as well. For the strip, I decided to stick with the idea that the first "people" that I thought of were fictional characters, and ran with it for fun. The three names listed here are really the first three names that popped into my mind while writing this. lol

Happy International Left Handers Day! Mayhap a Musical Delight for Your Fancy?

Sinistrals of the world, unite! (Dextral and "ambi"dextral swine, pay homage forthwith!)

To celebrate International Left Handers Day, August 13, I present you one of my favorite musical performances EVER! This is Ravel's "Piano Concerto for the Left Hand," which he composed for a fellow pianist who lost his right arm in World War I (a concept lovingly reproduced on M*A*S*H. many years later). The piano part features no right-hand play at all.

And I refer here not only to Ravel's composition but to this specific performance of it.

The pianist is Hélène Tysman, who completed her graduate work with this brilliancy, with Nicolás Pasquet conducting the Orchestra of the University of Music Franz Liszt Weimar on December 8, 2011 at the Weimarhalle, Weimar. Outstanding orchestration as well; I love the attentiveness of the concertmaster throughout the performance.

This video is a ticket redeemable for 20 minutes in a better world, but I absolutely insist you give it your undivided attention, or don't watch at all. The subtleties of Ravel and the triumphs of this performance are not suited to background music. (Yes I am being gatekeepy today. Go cut onions with your infernal right-handed scissors and cry me a river.)

CAPTION: Video performance on YouTube of Hélène Tysman performing Ravel's "Piano Concerto for the Left Hand."

On behalf of myself and all left-handers in the Universe, and Silence Terlais, to Cherry Ilyapa, to Afiach Bard, and many other left-handed luminaries in the Joshalonian legendarium, here's to the greatest hand in the world: the LEFT Hand! And to the people who work through this hand with all masterfulness.
