SICKSTACK

Snifflestack, Sneezestack, Cough and Hackstack

Seems like everyone I, Ellis Rosen, know is sick right now. That's, like, three whole sick people. I mean, what's going on?! I know it’s January and I have two young kids and covid is still a serious issue and RSV and all this other stuff is going around, and I live in a huge condensed city, but I mean, that can't be it. There's got to be a reasonable explanation. An Occam's Razor if you will. I’m thinking maybe it's some sort of intricate conspiracy, like whatever is going on with football right now. Something simple, like the occult, or aliens, or some sort of alien-occult-football thing. I mean I don't know, I'm not on twitter all day, I’m just on it half of the day. Do me a favor, will you? Find out why I'm sick and post your theory on twitter so I can read it. I'll be in bed.

A haiku:

O noble lab rat,

You meander through life’s maze,

To prevent hair loss.

Of course, no way this cartoon comes from personal experience since I don’t drink a lot. Go ahead and put that in my chart.
