Explanation[edit | edit source]

Count Rugen is the main villain of the 1987 movie The Princess Bride, whose most notable physical abnormality was the six fingers on his right hand. A major source of conflict in the film is that Rugen killed the father of one of the main characters, Inigo Montoya

With the original strip mentioning a man with six fingers, this edit replaces the original character with Count Rugen and alters Jon's dialogue to efficiently place him in the shoes of Inigo.

As soon as I saw Garfield's "Six Fingers" comment, I knew I had to make this.

Original strip: 2000-05-06.
