Aloha!
We all agree that death and disease are bad and wrong, yeah? But unfortunately most of us will die of death and disease at some time in our life.
For years doctors and boffins have tried to cure us of our ills, only to - ironically - die themselves before finding a resolve.
Is it any wonder that death has been a subject of fascination to philosophers, psychologists, doctors and, yes, even us humble Flash artists, since time immemorial?
That is why I have decided to make a cartoon about every single disease known to mankind!
To start the ball rolling I have just uploaded a cheeky cartoon about one of my favourite diseases of all time... leprosy!
Hopefully this will be the beginning of a lifelong endeavour to document all the disease and death that we, as Earthlings, have yet to come to terms with.
Perhaps, through the art of crap cartoons, we can absolve ourselves of the fear of our own mortality and instead sit back and have a little giggle as we are eaten away from the inside by the claws of cancer.
Unfortunately, I am reasonably healthy, so it doesn't look like I'll be contracting any terminal diseases in the near future, let alone dying of something tropical and cool.
That is why I would like to open the floor to anyone who has any interesting disease ideas/anecdotes which they would like to share with me. Perhaps a family member contracted something after an exotic sabbatical. Perhaps you're a student of medicine and are clued up on rare ailments.
Or perhaps you yourselves have battled with aggressive ringworm (Shit! That's a great idea!).
Any ideas/anecdotes would be greatly appreciated and will be invaluable in helping me construct the most unnecessary cartoon series of all time! I will then probably shove them all in a video together in a cartoon compendium of curious conditions, and dump it on the internet somewhere.
ACE!
I... I love you,

P.S: I'm actually being serious.

Uhm...
Being addict to sex?
That's actually a disease...

I was sorta thinking more about physical diseases (more fun to animate!) rather than mental, but you may be onto something.
