2009-12-16: Sore Throat (has dire consequences)
Secret fear
What was that story, about a kid who gets the flu and it takes over his body? Scared me witless as a child. This is more frightening, of course, but could only happen in a world radically UNLIKE the one in my comics. A world like OURS.
I mean, if I got taken over by a parasite and didn't notice the transition, in our world no-one would think I was me any more. How awful!
I'm still sick... bleh!
Vote at top web comics to see a funny comic I did years ago. Yup. Same one.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.

Rabid: Ugh I have a terrible sore throat. Dr Quickly: Oh my!! Dr Quickly: You have a terrible advanced parasitic infection. We have to operate immediately. << RRRIIIIIPPPP >> Rabid: OWWWW Dr Quickly: The operation was a success! We've already started growing your replacement parts. Rabid: Thank goodness. Dr Quickly: I'm not talking to YOU, parasite!! [[ The parasite is incinerated at the Fruitopia Medical Waste Incinerator of Sony Bravia Experimental Research Hospital, which is too cheap to hire a proper sign-maker seriously look at that double hyphen. ]] Rabid: Moving in together? That must have been the PARASITE'S idea -- last I remember, I was a SWINGIN' BACHELOR!! [[ Rabid's ruse is unconvincing. ]] Rabid: I'm pretty sure it was the PARASITE who agreed to scoop the cat litter!
