You're thinking this is a story about some vain girl who only cares about celebrity gossip and designer clothing, right? Not this time. Hannah is actually an avid reader and volunteers at an animal shelter. She studies chemistry and is a big fan of philosophical debates. Hannah's also constipated. She spends hours sitting on the bathroom toilet trying to do stuff she just can't. While she's there, she thinks about her life and her place in the world. While she's there, she writes little poems on her smartphone and checks her social awareness websites. While she's there, on that unfriendly toilet seat from hell, she dreams of a happy and normal bowel movement. Existentialism can be painfully excruciating, but for Hannah, it doesn't come close to the empty soul wrecking feelings of congenital constipation.
Some pains are simpler than others, but they still hurt...
but... she looks good! ;o)
ReplyDeleteAt least she has a nice toilet to sit on.
ReplyDeleteOctapolis - as good as one of those skinny models ;)
ReplyDeleteLaury - yes, i guess it is better than being constipated in some small village of a 3rd world country where toilets are a hole behind a bush and toilet paper are leaves.
She looks better than those skinny models. At least she has a brain. :)
ReplyDeletea pretty big brain, actually. and an even bigger heart.
ReplyDeleteI wish your friend the best... ( I really like the "blue" skeleton)...
ReplyDeleteAs I often tell others... You should appreciate the "little things" in life .. these are often taken for granted... I do not have her problem but my "health issues" make me more grateful for things that I used to not even give second thoughts... It is the "little things" that can make our lives more miserable...
So until these "things" become an issue in our lives ... we do not even think of them...
Like I am sure that most people take Breathing for granted as well...
I am Very grateful for the days that my ability to breath well is up to par... as well as days without accidents or injury...
those are very wise words. thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeletethis condition isn't a big part of her life, but it's certainly a terribly frustrating part.
Interesting premise, and great artwork:) Cool blog:)
ReplyDeletethanks, man.
ReplyDeletehaha! hope your week's been awesome.
ReplyDeleteIn a world ruled by mental illness, it's almost funny to realize how there are "simpler pains". Love the idea of the skeleton.
ReplyDeletethat's true. mental disorders seem to be king.
ReplyDeleteTe lo diré en español::.
ReplyDeleteSi tuviera una banda de rock...te pediría este dibujo para la portada del disco.

mi espanol no es muy bueno, pero entendi sus palabras sin un traductor online. muchas gracias, compañero!
ReplyDeleteI had to look up "congenital constipation" first ;-)
ReplyDeleteI´m so glad I don´t have this kind of desease, must be horrible !
i'm sure it's difficult for her, but she's a normal girl. if she hadn't told me, i would've never known.
ReplyDeletephysical, mental, social... we all have crosses to bear.
Thank God for smartphones!
ReplyDeleteyeah, they do have their usefulness. i know this one guy who plays games when he's in the bathroom. i can almost imagine the post: The Toilet Gamer :)
