I didn't even think of it as a 24-hour comic, it was a great comic in general. Good work! I just found this, and it’s a great comic.

I was diagnosed last year with this, i am 19 now! My doctors tell me that me my mom and sis are very unique as we all have it and it is very rare to find it passed on from a mother to two daughters. Has never happened before apparantley supposed to skip generations. Would like to thank you for doing this. you have described most of the past year for me!! i would just like to say, if people have these symtoms tell a doctor and get tested as my mom had it for 25 years before they told her she had it. told her she was mad!! now she suffers daily and having her second operation.... she has had most of her intestines removed!! look forward to your remission this is a great picture for people who dont realise what Chrons is.
