FD Day

So I've been creating a weekly comic for the Familial Dysautonomia Foundation (which I haven't posted in awhile here, but they always post it on their facebook).  This Sunday is FD Day, a conference for people and families affected by the condition, but it's also open to the public if you're curious!  They'll have a lot of NYU doctors talking about new research, treatments, and other stuff.  I'll be there sketching for the kids in a room with other fun stuff like a magician and balloon animals.

Here are some FD comics to catch up on - No Tears:  Life With FD.

On this comic, the Foundation and I were trying to come up with good places for the group of people to be in - what if the grumpy old man was a bus driver?  No, some FD people have difficulty getting on buses.  What if he was a barber, or at a movie ticket counter?  Those were ok, but I came up with something I encounter regularly:  grumpy people at the checkout lane :)

This was one of my personal favorites :)  Although the FD community online prefers the really sweet ones vs the LOL ones (this one got only like 2,000 "views" as opposed to the usual over 10,000).

Like this is a really sweet one.  People went NUTS over this one!

And people really responded to this one well.  Lots of good comments flying around on the web.
