Abstract: We add a possibility to the catalogue of scenarios given by Hohlov and Howison for the behavior of Hele-Shaw free boundary flows when surface tension is assumed to be absent: suction from an initially connected blob of fluid can result in regions of fluid being left marooned some distance from the suction point.
