Hmm. Speculation time.
1. Because arms should not be made of wood.
2. Because it means his pet isn’t harmless to him.
3. He’s left-handed in one respect or another.
I notice the smoke in the background. (Starts in panel 2, lots in panel 3.)
Perhaps one of the three reasons is because he now has more to worry about from fire?
So, normally I’d hail Lemmo’s transition from wattery blob substance to wooden substance as a welcome change… except for the fact that something seems to be on fire…
Reminds me on a famous quote, i think it´s from Nietzsche:
`He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. `
And that´s why Lemmo turns into a treant.
What I hope: this isn’t a completely new universe, the last one wasn’t explainded enough
the fog rolling in is the smoke people and Misty getting angry at them for naming her
that they’ll find the broken hand juice machine and get some to fix Lemmo’s predicament.
Actually the interesting thing here is, as seen in previous strips they are still essentally “goo” and are able to manifest themselves into their current forms. Now are the “wood lice” “Hijacking” Lemo, by imposing their own will on Lemo’s form? Also what happened to the “voice”?
oh lemmo. your reaction to your hand becoming a price of firewood because your new pet is evil is why you are my favorite. but don’t tell aric. he’ll do that foot-in-the-air-FATALITY-mega-epic-shovel-smash to me. I’ve heard he’s a skilled hitter with thongs. I have a cousin who has a doctor in that field! -jaz
Were all the signs once people-ish of some sort? I would feel even worse for smashing them, then. If Lemmo turned into a sign, I wonder what he would warn of.
ok. well, SORRY ABOUT MY COMMENT!! I thought I fixed that typo. THONGS should be THINGS, just to let all of you know. …and sorry to all of you that got perverted thoughts reading it. and yes, I just noticed the typo now. DONT HURT ME!! -jaz
WHAT do i say? symbiotic. He can still move his arm, but now, he has something to light on fire in case of surprise caves. As well as something to widdle in boredom based emergencies. OR he can hit someone with a very hard wooden FIST or block someone’s weak flesh fist with a wooden arm. Wood is very useful….. as long as it doesn’t spread.
@Jaz: your first comment absolutely cracked me up!! I didn’t notice it said thongs till you said something about it, so I went back and read it!! I was rofling…

That’s my first three.
September 13th, 2010 at 2:41 am
Aric repeats himself a lot. XD
September 13th, 2010 at 3:15 am
Question is, is it now immobile?
September 13th, 2010 at 4:13 am
Why is Lemmo so calm? :D
September 13th, 2010 at 4:16 am
If it’s immobile, this is horrifying. If it’s not, this is awesome!
September 13th, 2010 at 4:49 am
What are those lines on the back ground?
September 13th, 2010 at 4:59 am
And I think he can move the arm because he open his hand.
What I want to know is whather that will spread.
September 13th, 2010 at 5:04 am
I’ve got your three reasons right here:
1) BODY HORROR
2) BODY HORROR
3) OH GOD THE BODY HORROR
September 13th, 2010 at 5:07 am
Oh no! His shirt sleeve’s gotten torn up!
And then, there’s the arm thing, too.
September 13th, 2010 at 7:44 am
Lol, “oop”. Normally I hate “oop” as opposed to “oops”, but for Lemmo I’ll make an exception. :)
September 13th, 2010 at 8:19 am
I notice the smoke in the background. (Starts in panel 2, lots in panel 3.)

September 13th, 2010 at 9:01 am
I like the way the hand is drawn, especially the wood grain around the knuckles.
Aric must be angry, since the conversation in the last strip shows Lemmo completely not registering Aric’s warning in the strip before.
To prevent this from spreading, they may need to… amputate! Dun dun DUN!!!! That would be a lot more suspenseful if *this* hadn’t already happened. http://blankitcomics.com/2008/09/11/details-details/

September 13th, 2010 at 9:47 am
And seems to have got progressively more on fire from panel 1 to panel 3.
September 13th, 2010 at 10:58 am
OH NO! Lemmo is turning into a warning sign!
September 13th, 2010 at 11:40 am
they’re in grass. like, in a lawn or something, just really small. and eth arm thing? totally awesome if he could change its shape
September 13th, 2010 at 11:40 am
Ah, I’m not the only one who noticed the fog/smoke rolling in.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Hm. I wonder if Hand juice will work on this.
I’m also kind of worried about the smoke in the background and the fact that the plants seem a bit droopy.
September 13th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Hmmm this is worrisome because they just got done breaking a bunch of wood.
September 13th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Ooh, thats different.
September 13th, 2010 at 2:46 pm

September 13th, 2010 at 4:24 pm
I’m starting to miss the Canvas universe! And Socks :(
September 13th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Am I the only one who thinks that the mist just might be one (or more) of the residents of the beam-hamlet? Or would that be stretching it?
September 13th, 2010 at 5:23 pm

September 13th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
And lastly, Lemmo’s arm isn’t immobile. His hand is closed in the second panel but open in the third.
September 13th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
1 he is now combustible.
2 he has a permanent wood.
3 he has no idea where the hand soda machine is.

September 13th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
My BlankIt book finally arrived and it’s full of WIN! *0*
September 13th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
I see a return of the shovel beam is in order.
In addition, the plants look like they are forming a face, almost as if the plants are controlled by a single ill-willing entity.
September 13th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
I see it as awesome but i just might be crazy
September 13th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
A serving of Hand Juice, anyone? :D
September 14th, 2010 at 4:49 am
I also see a face in the plants of the last pic. Mist/smoke/fire.who knows!
still loving it, i keep coming back to blankit very glad to have found it
September 14th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Wait a minute- Lemmo’s wood hand only has three fingers (not including the thumb as a finger, of course)
September 14th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
oh lemmo. your reaction to your hand becoming a price of firewood because your new pet is evil is why you are my favorite. but don’t tell aric. he’ll do that foot-in-the-air-FATALITY-mega-epic-shovel-smash to me. I’ve heard he’s a skilled hitter with thongs. I have a cousin who has a doctor in that field! -jaz
September 15th, 2010 at 1:26 am
I hope he doesn’t get a splinter.
September 15th, 2010 at 9:33 am
Were all the signs once people-ish of some sort? I would feel even worse for smashing them, then. If Lemmo turned into a sign, I wonder what he would warn of.
September 15th, 2010 at 11:49 am
NARM! NARM! NARM!
September 15th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
i just read the entire adventures from start to now. and it is the best thing EVER!
September 15th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
“Lemmo! Danger!” cries Aric as he runs toward Lemmo past the “Beyond here lies danger” sign.
Just wanted to throw that one out there so it wouldn’t go unnoticed.
September 15th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
i think the black smokey lines are from a wind, cause you can see the grass bending in the background
September 16th, 2010 at 12:12 am
NARM!!!!!
September 16th, 2010 at 8:24 am
Oh no! You guys! The smoke monster from Lost is coming! I called it!
September 16th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
