You know you're officially an adult when the first category is no longer enough of a reason to miss work. You know you're in college when it's enough to keep you home for a week!
I just got over type one, but my parents only let me stay from school one day.
However, during the first week of summer last summer I got Swine Flu, and it was type one all the way. Spent the entire time playing Final Fantasy 12 (I was that bored). I got through a TON.
I never got swine flu, but just as it was breaking out I was coming back from a pig farm in Costa Rica and I came down with a cold, so I got tested for swine flu anyways (Which involved sticking something about 5 inches up my nose, I would have rather just had swine flu than that test!)
I had a cross in between two and three once. It started with an unholy stomachache. Then I threw up. And then I threw up again. Every hour at least once until about midnight.
Haha, I love type one. I remember, this one time in third grade, I faked sick to go home from school, and even convinced the teacher that I looked 'pale' and had a fake 'fever stare'. When I got home I hid a ton of food, toys and small gaming systems under my mattress, covered myself with blankets when my mom was out of the room to make me feel warm, and took them off when she entered so she would that I felt hot because of a fever, and since we had one of those thermometers that take ages, as soon as my mom left the room, I stuck it against a lightbulb until it reached just about 100, hot enough to stay home but not go to the doctor, and put it back in my mouth. The food was so I could pass the 'wait two hours past a meal to see if they're faking' test, and snacks. It worked for about three days.
Once I was afflicted with Type Two while living in a dorm room at the opposite end of the hall from the bathroom. And my bed was a top bunk. NOT. FUN.
Usually I get Type Zero… "not sick enough to stay home from anything, but sick enough for everyone you meet during the day to look disgusted as you blow your nose every ten minutes as quietly as possible (not quietly)".
Because my immune system KICKS ASS, I’ve only really had the first one. I’ve only had the second rarely, and never had anything like the third.
EVEN WHEN MY TONSILS BLED.
EXTREME!
OK dude, you got me. I am now officially a fan.
On the middle panel, I would have just camped next to the porcelain throne. The five yard dash is just too risky.
screw that. i had to almost sleep in the bathroom mine would be so unpredictable >_>

i just pulled that last quarter
Saras?!
So true! brilliant!
Hehe…love the strip. Any correlation to your current health status?
Get better soon!
Soooo true.

…I would rather have type three than play through all of FFXII again. I mean, I love Squeenix, but they dropped the ball on that game.

Oh, man. I had swine flu, and it was type 2 for the first night, and then type 1 for three days. Definitely awesome once you get over the first part.
Awwww, what about the cold that kills you?
I like to mix 1 and 2. The bathroom becomes a gaming lounge.. just keep the 'pause' button ready.
Type of Sickness 4: Finding panel 3 hilariously funny.
I just stumbled upon this and am laughing because I am home from work with type two sickness with a hint of type one.
I had a cross in between two and three once. It started with an unholy stomachache. Then I threw up. And then I threw up again. Every hour at least once until about midnight.
lmao.. you got me, i've been reading these all day, i saw A cat's daily planner and couldn't stop reading.
VONNEGUT.

I applaud to you, sir.
The last panel cracked me up. The "just put me out of my misery" flu. Really enjoy your stuff!! Reading through it now.
Same here. I had been casually nodding, but when I read “kevorkian” I very nearly did a spit-take.
Haha… I'm in a Panel 2-stage cold right now. Reading this strip really made me laugh!
I'm loving this whole comic, too. Great job!

Admittedly I had to google Kevorkian, but when I did, this comic jumped to a whole new level of funny.
i like how he was grabbing his ass at panel 2
Type 1 is most common. Type 2 doesn't come often. Type 3 only happens once, twice even THREE times if your unlucky, in your entire life.
Hah, seeing this when I'm sick enough to feel like I'm suffering for the world's sins ftw.
Dr. Kevorkian died recently…
Panel 4 was me all last week… luckily I had all the Bug archives to keep me sane.
Would that make it a Dr. Bug-vorkian house-call?
Shouldn’t there be a fourth type where you are well enough to go to work but sick enough to really hate it.
