Hello Mr. Jarlsburg I am from India and recently found ur site . I love this site I hope you keep posting for a long time :)... btw will we ever know what Johnny has?

Stilton Jarlsberg said...

@jdas- Johnny doesn't have just one condition... and even his doctors don't understand all the conditions he has.

But it doesn't matter anyway: the real meaning of this strip is Johnny's ongoing fight to stay optimistic in the face of adversity. Just like the rest of us.

Johnny's kind of the opposite of a hypochondriac, isn't he? He actually DOES have that disease...and that one, and that one, and that one... but he doesn't go out of his way to imagine having them.

JeepGuy - naw, he has Medical Death Book Girl (Merideth?) to do that for him...

I would guess that if the good doctor got through med school, and a residency, without sobering up, it might have been with the help of Merck White Fluffy Flakes.

JustaJeepGuy said...

@Pete, shouldn't that be "Merideath"?

TrickyRicky, I had to Google what you were talking about. I think you just showed us your age. LOL!
