    doesn't anyone have a bigger picture? Can it be that he is holding the cigarette between the ring finger and the pinkie, and that shadow is the stumps? (not that I really believe that, though)

    My eyes are pretty good [not quite Roland of Gilead good, but I do have 20-15 vision, so better than normal], and I can say pretty confidently that that picture represents the index and middle fingers. Take a look at the thumb first and follow that up and to the left and you will see that the outside of the palm is complete and joins the thumb in a way that could only make those fingers be the index and middle.

    ask carlosdetweiller. He has the original painting hanging in his home!

    Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
    Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand

    I keep the book in my hand and... no... I wish I could say yes.
    From this angle we should see what left from his index and middle fingers but we can see just one beautiful healthy finger.

    Roland would have understood.

    I am a visual idiot - I can't recognize things I see before I verbalize them, and even then can never be sure - so I will just trust those who can see.

    Jean, I think when you have a chance to sit down and take another look at the illustration in it's book form [ie. where you can hold it right up to your face if you need to] it will be a little easier to tell. If not, trust me, I've studied this picture too long and hard. I'm an artist, so I have a bit of an hyper-developed eye for detail. It's a blessing and a curse.

    I must say Jean, in the book it's clear.

    R_of_G: yes, that's what I meant! I can't tell a hand from a foot going by the way they look, so from now on I'll take your word on anything visual!

    I'm not sure you guys, to me, it looks like he is holding it in the last fingers and there is a stump between thumb and smoke

    I'd never say I was completely positive unless I could see the original full size illustration Whelan submitted, so I will say it is within the realm of possibility that you are correct Matt [see, like Roland I am a bit of a diplomat], but my eyes are typically correct, and from an art-critic point of view, if that area between the cig-holding finger and the thumb was supposed to be Roland's injury, it should be a lot bigger and bloodier than that [given his lack of ability to properly clean and bandage the wound at all times]. Also, you ever try smoking a cigarette from between your ring finger and pinky? Now that's a good party trick!

    I can agree on that but Roland is highly adaptable. Also, I believe the wound itself would be basically healed at this point in the story wouldn't it? I know time is soft but there were at least a bunch of months in between the event and this scene?

    I think you all need to be less hypercritical.

    I mean, he didn't turn Susannah into an Asian chick, or add an extra human head to one of the taheens.

    And even if he did, wouldn't that be his prerogative under artistic license?

    That's what I mean, it looks like a stump to me with only the last two fingers holding a the smoke.

    The more I look at it the more I can see that it could go either way.

    The image is so clearly a stump with only the last two remaining there is no question.

    Seriously, everyone please have a look. I may need to scan and bring it forward somehow because there are only two fingers plus a thumb on that hand. Why he would smoke in it, I have no idea but there it is.
