At the most cursory first glance, when I saw the extended pinky and the cigar in the air my mind did an involuntary extrapolation saying the cigar had been flicked. One second later my eyes saw the claw was holding it aloft. It's clear and I think it would be even clearer looking at the real piece.

Anybody else interpreting as speed lines what I meant to be a single claw piercing the stogie? Should I add the other claws to make it clear?

Nope. And nope. Looks just fine as is.

Hello John. Greetings all. 

First post.

Love this Wolverine too. I'm with the crowd who appreciates when Wolverine is drawn at his designed height.

This guy looks like a real scrapper. This is the real Wolverine.

Speaking as an individual who grew up watching Wolverine smoke without ever once having the urge to light up myself, I miss that aspect of the character.

No one nails the essence of the character quite the way you do, JB, and I'm afraid no one else will.

I think I prefer him without the mask.

And we know what Stan Lee said about that!

****

What did Stan Lee say about that?

By the way, at first glance, I thought Wolverine was flicking his cigar away in this piece due to the extended pinkie and what I misinterpreted to be speed lines.  It took me a moment to realize that it was just one claw extended and that the cigar was speared on it.

I saw it as a single claw. I don't think it should be altered, whatever the case. The picture still works either way, I think.
