Idiom Costs An Arm And A Leg — free printable clipart

About this illustration

This cartoon illustration depicts a man at a checkout counter, missing his left arm and right leg, presenting his severed arm to a horrified female cashier. Blood is visible dripping from his arm and on the stump of his leg, which he holds. A sign on the counter reads 'TOTAL: 1 ARM 1 LEG.' This image humorously illustrates the common English idiom 'cost an arm and a leg,' meaning something is very expensive, and is suitable for English language arts lessons, discussions on figurative language, or as a visual aid for vocabulary related to idioms in worksheets or slides. The visual style is a vibrant, exaggerated cartoon with flat colors.
