After Deadpool 2, Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee Riff on the No-Feet Drawing Trope

Rob Liefeld doesn't draw feet. Because he can't draw feet. We all know it. It's in the DNA of comic books. It doesn't have to be true, it's not true, but it feels like it's true.

And Deadpool 2 made reference to it as well, alongside the pouches, Cable's size and more. Rob seems happy with that but also wants to point out that this thing is an illustrative choice… and Jim Lee joins in.

Sad to say that my feet drawing disease took hold fairly quickly, it spread throughout the industry affecting some of Comics greatest talents. Jim Lee fell victim to the infection… pic.twitter.com/aRMAdnf0Xn

To be fair, I see feet from Iceman, Wolverine and even Jim Lee himself there… but Jim Lee knew of where he came from.

I get asked about not drawing feet nearly every stream as well :) Anyone can draw feet. It's hiding them well that's a feat 😂

The nineties were a strange, footloose era.

The no feet disease grew so strong it traveled back in time and infected the great Frank Frazetta… his downfall upset me more than most… I've sent messages to the past attempting to set things right. pic.twitter.com/MggTwK6QvK
