By John Zakour (writer) & Scott Roberts (artist)
Maria is a kid who sees things her own way- and expects the world to see it her own way too! Her friend Joey is more practical. He helps keep her grounded, though that’s as easy as handling a Thanksgiving balloon in a hurricane. Sue is special and she knows it- better than anyone. She’s writing her autobiography now, but she’ll live it later. Bob takes things slower. Ms. Payne is their teacher- she enjoys her job, she truly does. She’d enjoy it even more without the students.

So does Pasquale in ROSE IS ROSE. And so does Lisa Simspon. But not Maria. She’s cool with it.

Here Maria, I’ll breathe on the computer screen. You can have my flu.

Since Maria’s mom is a doctor, there’s a decent chance she was vaccinated. At least I hope so.

That won’t stop Maria from trying.

Yeah, it’s not worth it to be miserable for a week, and then have to work double to make-up all that you missed while you were out. No fun!

Are you assuming Maria has that kind of foresight?

You don’t want influenza. You risk death. And so no vaccinations for them? And missing school? Such a mistake. But then Maria doesn’t have to look forward to sit in the “Special” golden chair.

Miserable for a week, yes. Work double to make up all the work missed- Maria? Work double? Sorry Mr. Roberts, but lightenup topped your punchline for today.

heard that some families have bug parties/sleepovers. one kid has an illness(chicken pox, measles, mumps, flu, etc..) they let their own kids to be exposed. something about immunization shots and autism.

A few years ago I had a really bad cold. The upside was I lost 20 pounds. after being well for about a week, I gained it all back. Time for another cold, I guess.
