Instant Bandages: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

Characters who suffer [[Amusing Injuries]], or emerge from a [[Big Ball of Violence]], will immediately sport bandages, even if they couldn't possibly have received medical attention. Sometimes, the bandages spontaneously appear in the very next shot, in the immediate aftermath of the blow, as if they had been stamped there by the force of whatever hit the character.

The standard example is a crossed pair of [[Stuck on Band-Aid Brand|Band-Aids]] on the head, but the [[Instant Bandages]] may be more elaborate. Wrapped gauze dressings covering entire limbs, arm slings, and plaster casts complete with crutches from [[Hyperspace Mallet|hammerspace]] are also fairly common.
