Remembering Al Strobel 1939-2022
What a week and it’s only Tuesday. After the passing of Bob McGrath and Kirstie Alley, sad to hear actor Al Strobel has died at 83.
Strobel was great as Philip Gerard, the one-armed man on David Lynch’s masterpiece Twin Peaks, as well as the prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and the 2017 reboot Twin Peaks.
Kyle MacLachlan and Strobel on Twin Peaks
2022 is kind of a sad year for Twin Peaks fans following the deaths of Kenneth Welch who played Windom Earle, singer and collaborator Julee Cruise, Lenny Von Dohlen who played Harold Smith, and David Warner who played Thomas Eckhardt.
The link above is the obit from Entertainment Weekly.

Will & Missing Left Hand Imagery
I’m not actually too confident on the possibility of this happening, but there a couple interesting points that points to Will possibly losing his left hand.
There is this screenshot from 2x02 where Will’s sleeve covers his left hand:
And this image where granted it is a bit unclear, but Will’s left hand also seems to be covered by his sleeve.
Potential Parallels
Jonathan has an Evil Dead poster in his room. In Evil Dead II, Ash Williams saws off his hand with a chainsaw after it has been taken over by an evil spirit.
Lately @bylrndgm and I have been exploring some parallels between this show and Twin Peaks. In TP there is a man named Mike who is missing his left arm. He cut his arm off in order to free himself from an evil spirit.
(RIP Al Strobel)
The Left Hand of Vecna
The Left Hand of Vecna is an item in DnD that is, quite literally is the severed left hand of Vecna. Eddie even mentions in his campaign that Vecna is missing his left eye and left hand. Granted this could easily just be foreshadowing for Vecna’s fucked up Freddy Krueger hand.
According to the Forgotten Realms Wiki, “The Hand was a desiccated, mummified left hand. In order to use its powers, the wielder needed to cut off his or her own left hand at the wrist and press the Hand of Vecna against the remainder of the arm. The artifact then magically grafted itself onto its wearer and became a functioning limb.”
Honestly, I’m not super confident in this theory nor do I necessarily think that it will happen, I just found it interesting that there was so much supporting evidence and wanted to line it all up here.
So I’m not saying Will is going to cut off his left hand. I’m also not not saying that he’s going to cut off his left hand.

February 24, 1965
At Universal and Radio Recorders studios in Hollywood, a month after they recorded “Help Me, Ronda” for issue on an album, the Beach Boys re-recorded the song for release as a single. For the first time, other than on their Christmas album, guitarist Al Jardine sang lead. The Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew provided much of the instrumentation, along with Carl Wilson on guitar and Brian Wilson on acoustic piano and Hammond B-3 organ. Backing vocals were by Mike Love, Carl, Dennis and Brian Wilson.
At the last minute there was a soundtrack session set up for Elvis’ new film, Harum Scarum. Due to the hurried manner in which the session was scheduled, Elvis’ regular accompanists were not available ant their places were taken by Charlie McCoy on guitar, Henry Strzelecki on bass and Kenny Buttrey on drums. They were joined by Rufus Long and Ralph Strobel on flute and oboe in order to lend A middle Eastern touch to the soundtrack.
This was Elvis’ first visit to a recording studio in 8 months and his distraction and disaffection with the material was obvious. He broke off at 3.30 a.m. after only 4 hours in which he did 38 dreary takes of Shake That Tambourine.
