I found this unsigned note inside a used book that I bought today.

The book is I Went To College And It Was Okay, a Collection of Jim’s Journal Cartoons by Jim.

Sickness

Sickness

Sickness

You can never reach a comfortable position when you are sick. Your back rakes with heat and your head weighs down your upper body.

Your facial openings are flooded with mucus to the point where you don’t know whether to sniff, swallow, or blow.

Then you drink cold water in order to cool the furnace within and sooth the grating in your throat.

Even then the water only pesters a troubled stomach that squeezes with queeziness.

But then I eat crackers.

They make me happy.
