Your Yucky Body: Disgusting Diet Trends
Originally uploaded by M1khaela.
Partly inspired by the disgusting facts about the weirdly popular diet drug Alli, but partly by a personal experience. A few years ago I had a horrible case of pneumonia that left me bed-ridden and barely able to breathe for three miserable weeks. When I returned to the world of the living, sickly and weak, I got all these compliments for losing weight (“you look so HEALTHY!” "what diet are you on?") when I had never been MORE unhealthy in my life. Skinny does NOT equal healthy.

this one's good. There's a lot of material there. You could have almost turned this into a series with each one getting a whole cartoon.
Wait a sec. Pooping one's pants is now NOT desirable? Goddam but it's hard keeping up with the changing whims of fashion. Guess it's back to bulimia then....
This is so wonderfully clever. I just discovered your cartoons, and I love them. I'd love to see more along this vein.
