Gut Comix

[cleversticks]

This comic was produced as part of the 24 Hour Comics project. It's about a guy who deals with Chron's disease, something I've never heard of, a type of IBD. It's a really good comic, and produced in just 24 hours!

I saw this on metafilter -- here's the thread, which was kind of interesting, too.

Ah, metafilter. I fell of the MF wagon a couple years ago. Maybe this will get me back on. Thanks!

Wow, that was a great little comic. John's dad has Crohn's, actually. He is always giving me digestive advice now when he calls John. ;-)

[cleversticks]

Awww. That's unfortunate, but at the same time, amusingly convenient.

[meestagoat]

True! It's funny because a few months ago, I could always tell when John was talking to his dad, because I'd just be minding my own business and then overhear my most recent symptoms described in detail from the other room.

His dad's condition is pretty seriously, actually; he's had several surgeries and has to take a lot of drugs. He's a great guy, but it is a seriously debilitating disease.

[cleversticks]

That's so distressing. This comic definitely accomplished the goal of raising awareness in my little part of the world, anyway.
