Can I play spoiler? (Sorry, I know it’s a cartoon, but I used to work in the bio field.) Not much “blood” and since it’s in the middle of the back down the backbone somewhere around T4, rather than horizontally between the back ribs, it doesn’t appear to be a real wound. Maybe a masssssssssively strong character with an inordinately sharp knife stuck it like that, splitting a vertebra in half… A glancing blow wouldn’t leave a knife in a vertebra.
Sarah the Savage Saracen sadistically sacks the suspicious shadowy slime that suicidally stilettoed her suitor a-stern.
(Possibly) with a slashing scimitar or saber.
i wonder who he pissed off to get back stabbed like that and yet he still smiling and looking good to see sarah, i wounder he he was stuffed and mounted there as a present to sarah
I was thinking he might have been walking into the tavern and got knifed from behind just as he was coming in the door (or it was thrown?). No time to react, just frozen in the shock of the pain. I stepped on a large nail protruding through a board once and pierced my foot through from bottom to top. Stabbed a kitchen knife deep into the bone of my thumb another time. That feeling is incredible; every nerve in your body just freezes with shock and your lungs stop working while your heart skips a few beats.
Takes a moment or two to walk it off …
Also, my other first reaction is: wondering if Large Marge and her Merry Collection of Mayhem Misfits has come a-calling. Time enough has passed that she could have tracked Sarah down by now … if she happens to hold enough of a grudge to want to do that.
Yknow, that could be something like: Large Marge’s Merry Ménagerie of Mayhem Misfits.
Makes me visualize something along the lines of a (more) twisted version of Penelope Pitstop and the Anthill Mob.
Dirk’s dirked!!
DUN duhn duuhnnnn!!
Stay tuned for another episode of: Dirk’s Back or Dirk’s Back?
And, he’s still gonna need a pretty good excuse … I don’t think Sarah’s gonna let him off so easily.
Looks painful. Don’t worry, Dirk, I’m sure Sarah will avenge you!
OMG!
Is that a dagger in your back…or are you just happy to see me?
(sorry…for some reason that was the FIRST thing to go through my mind)
That’s gonna leave a mark.

…slicing said sucker into splendidly slender slivers of sickening salami.
No, Sarah should have been saying, “Do you have anything to *slay* for yoursel…”

To quote Bugs Bunny about the Sheriff of Nottingham: “Got lotsa stamina!”
What?
“‘Tis but a scratch!”
“It’s just a flesh wound!”
