Greetings! So, I’ve been battling gout the last few days… I know what you’re thinking… Gout tends to be a foot thing, so why didn’t I draw the bloody comic?!?!
Well, you are correct. The gout is in my foot. However, it’s the worst flare-up I’ve ever had… and… well… ouch…
So, try as I might, I couldn’t concentrate enough to get through the strip. I accept your derision. The meds finally seem to be kicking in, so I can sort of bend my toe now, so we should be back to normal on Sunday. My apologies.
If you’d like an idea of what gout is like, please check this poorly drawn (and even more poorly written) blog entry I wrote a few years ago…
Oy, I’m hoping I never get gout. That is a crazily cute sketch, though…
It mostly seems to affect us “husky” types, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Yes, Brittany can certainly sketch the cute!
As the title of one enjoyable television episode goes, Everybody Hates The Gout, indeed.
I hope you feel better Dave. Namely because I feed off of your humor and use it in my quest to take over the world! Darn! I hate when I say that out loud. Thanks for including some of your old musings – love the Monty Python title…
Oh, and the tags are priceless!
That Chris Rock…
Gout is God’s way to saying get your diet and exercise in order… nag, nag nag… 😉
In any case, it’s easing, so it’s all good. I assume when you take over the world, I’ll be appointed imperial cartoonist or cartoonist to the queen or some such lofty office…
Absolutely, Dave – the title (whichever you choose) is yours – just don’t tell my brother-in-law who runs his own webcomic and lets me post a (rather terrible) blog every couple of weeks!
Sorry, you can’t say that and just walk away. What’s the comic?
Carlisle’s comic is Steal This Comic http://www.stealthiscomic.com
And I wasn’t kidding about the terrible nature of the blog – I even call it “Garbage Day”. Reader discretion is advised… (Although my latest one is about John Hughes, so…)
Hey! I know that strip. I’ll have to take a closer look at the blog portion…
Gout!!! EWWWWWWWWW!!! And why are you bleeding in the comic?
I’m not bleeding! It’s red and swollen… now over in the livejournal post, *that’s* bleeding!
