#164 i want to share these feelings with you, but SOMEBODY will not give us any privacy.
June 22nd, 2010 |does doctor-patient confidentiality work the other way around? i am guessing not, otherwise some very sexy and probably illegal things would be happening in operating rooms all over the world, i bet.
i do not like going to the doctor. i am not afraid of doctors and i do not dislike doctors. i am not really made uncomfortable by the experience. it just seems like so much work. i feel like my time could be better spent at a craft fair or looking on the internet for soul food recipes.
but enough about me. i want to make this about you.
a co-worker gave me the idea to open up the writing of this comic to the audience maybe once a month. as the audience is small, i think that makes your chances of “winning” better. what i want you to do is to send me an idea for a comic at jared at heydracula dot com (or hit the contact link at the top), and i will choose my favorite (assuming more than one is sent in) and try to make it into a comic. the deadline for this first one will be july 1st. this is very much an experiment. if i do not choose yours, please do not be sad. you have no idea how many of mine i have not chosen. it should be noted that this comic is roughly “PG-13″ in terms of content, and probably “barely rated R” in terms of language. if you give me a pornographic or otherwise inappropriate idea, i will cherish it deeply, but i will not make it into a comic.
i hope your tuesday makes all the other days look like poseur wannabes.

i can tell, doctor. it really shows in your work.
Already being absolutely terrified of hospitals and doctors and the horrible little tools they use, I can safely say a conversation like that in any situation would be a nightmare. ._.
(The hammer isn’t helping.)
A writing contest, huh? Sounds interesting! I’ll certainly be happy to give it serious thought, but knowing me, I probably won’t come up with anything worth sending. I’m fairly certain my brain takes month-long lunch breaks.
i am looking forward to your ideas — i think i wrote most of these comics while my brain was on a lunch break. (the hammer is just there for symbolism, i think, but i do not know what it symbolizes.)
strangely enough, I don’t actually dislike going to the dentist… mine is quick and efficient so maybe that helps
i have to go to the dentist and i am not looking forward to it. to paying for it, i mean. mine refuses to use the barter system, which is so totally lame.
