Thanks for doing these, Julia - I have some nasty biz-nass up in my body, too, and it’s frustrating when people make you feel like it’s not ok to find humor in it - humorlessness is just a totally dehumanizing way to deal with anything.
Oh! and it would be sad if you died for the totally unselfish reason of that it would be sad that a cool and funny person was no longer around to further find out more about their own life. A person with a courage to share it with strangers.
it’s true. Nothing gets me as good as a solid fall down. I’m pretty sure the only thing that would prevent me from laughing after hitting the ground was if I hit the ground dead. The funniest things usually start with F’s, like falling, farting and fucking
How bout fainting? I used to do that while driving. Scared the crap out of the bf that was current for then XD Worth dying if it shook that worthless fucker up.
the best joke I ever made when I was super sick and in the hospital for 10 days was when my friend Nate called me from across the country.
Me: Yeah so I mean, I’m getting better, I think
Nate: Good!
Me: So enough about me, how are you?
Nate: oh, well actually I’ve been a bit sick.
Me: Oh….. oh.
Nate: Obviously not as bad as -
Me: how many chest tubes did YOU have?
The best thing about the university i went to is that in the winter you could sit at the coffee shop in the student centre, where the seats faced a glass wall that looked out on a wheelchair ramp-only entrance. You can imagine what happens when you combine ice+wheelchair ramp+people rushing in out of the cold - literally hours of falling. I kept thinking i’d reach my capacity on finding it funny, but no.
ps. your books only took about 1 1/2 weeks to get to australia! yay us postal service! they are awesome. spanks!
“humorlessness is just a totally dehumanizing way to deal with anything.” <- F Yeah.
Please don’t die, your awesome! (p.s I’m drunk, that money I was going to spend on your books? yeah, spent it on booze… do you have a donate button? maybe i could buy you a round…)
I really appreciate this. Chronic health problems suck, and people that act like you suck for treating them with humor can go fuck themselves for sure.
I was diagnosed with my own lifelong progressive autoimmune disease a few years ago (MS) and have responded with black humor as well (publicly, anyway - tears of a clown and all that =P).
What gets me is the well meaning but stupid people who are aghast that I’m not more serious - it’s not like they’re the ones with the fucking disease. I can laugh at whatever the hell I like, thank you very much, and I’m not about to start playing the invalid with some twit who is trying to make themselves feel less uncomfortable.
I’d like to see this become common parlance, but you can pick your own comic. Like, you could Don Knotts yourself to death, or if you’re flamboyant gay you might Waylon Flowers and Madame yourself to death. Imagine what George Carlining or Lenny Bruceing yourself to death would be like.
It’s kinda funny that people don’t understand people trying make a humorous situation out of something depressing or horrifying. If you don’t laugh, inevitably you’re going to cry.
My friend has the excact same condition, and is been going through a ton of the same tests the past two weeks. She got a big laugh out of this; it definitely cheered her up. So thanks on her behalf!
I like your webcomic. It’s honest and… I don’t know how to say it (I don’t speak english). It’s cool, or great, or excellent. Seriously, I don’t know but that it’s the idea.
my kid has asthma..is anafylactic towards nuts and now to top it of is diagnosed with adhd..to go to a hospital,docter,etc everytime with your child and she and i (and rest of us) get to hear another new cool sickness..sucks..returning from the first aid with a syringe of adrenaline;”oh well nothing to worry about,just inject her with this…within 20 minutes otherwise she slips into a deadly coma” is more then aweful..humor is the only thing that works..she has an amazing sense of humor (ok..she is really young;7 ;perhaps not fully grasping it all) and we all do..
mocking her with her nutty allergy, the new adhdtherapy that awaits her..to be or not to be on ritalin…it must be joked about at all times..because the other option is unbearable for me/us (and it doesnt mean we dont take it serious..its a way of coping)

Well, try not to die too young…I’d be really depressed if there was no more Fart Party to read.
August 4th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Agreed. You can’t die yet. If you do, someone will try to do a tribute to you a year from now by taking over Fart Party and just fuck it up.

To “Don Rickles yourself to death” has a totally different meaning in Thailand.
