Hello, everyone!

As some of you may know, a few months ago my health completely broke down. I couldn’t draw, or do much of anything, really, because (a) I couldn’t bend my fingers, (b) it hurt too much to move off the sofa, and © did I mention I couldn’t bend my fingers?

So I made a comic about it.

Permalink here.

It’s still ongoing, so I’m going to be posting a few pages at a time. More to come.

1. hi, i can very much feel with you. i personally am suffering from a neurodermitis for more than 20 years now. at times it’s hell. i stopped using cortison and steroids more than 15 years ago and now am just using baths with potassium-permanganate (yea, you’ll look purple-brownish afterwards, and the people will always ask if you intend to build bombs with it) and a special extract made from trees (i don’t know how to translate gerbstoff). those two together at least stop the infections that i always get after neurodermitis strikes. i hope you get well soon and find something that works out for you in dealing with that cursed skin.

2. Hi Peter! Sorry to hear about your neurodermatitis, but major props to you on not using cortisone and steroids for so long! That’s incredible. Interesting to learn about the potassium-permanganate — I’ve only encountered stuff that turned you green or brown, so purple is wild. I did come across some all-natural stuff that are helping remedy my skin situation, so gonna cover them in upcoming comic pages. Thanks for the get-well wishes, and same to you. Skin matters are indeed a trial!
