They say we always hurt the ones we love. Sometimes you can't help but hug 'em to bits, and sometimes you just wanna punch their head off. But don't worry, they also say it's all part of a good, healthy relationship.

So, what better way to hurt people than with a slap. Whoever invented it is a genius. Here're 5 reasons why I think so:

-A slap is intended to hurt the person's most valued feature: the face. The open palm is designed to cover as much of the sensitive skin of the face as possible.

-A slap doesn't dislocate your jaw or break your nose, but stings just as much. This means you can always slap someone over and over again without risk of permanent physical damage.

-A slap is generally considered a "class" form of violence as opposed to the barbaric punch. A person of high stature can get away with a slap but never with a punch.

-A slap hurts the ego more than a punch. That's why most people would rather be punched than be slapped in the face.

-A slap is always more dramatic than a punch(see deviation above ).

Now, drawing a slap isn't as easy as I thought, compare fig.1 and fig.2 and you'll see that the addition of those li'l details delivers much, much more impact. Literally.

(Don't worry, It's just basically me slapping me. )
