Lobotomy Alternatives
Walter gets a little of his own back in this one. I’m planning to make it longer for the book because when I started it I didn’t know about some other treatments, like refrigeration therapy, which is just what it sounds like.
It’s funny to me that electroconvulsive therapy is still regarded with terror and suspicion, although it truly helps some people, while no one remembers the horrible Metrazol, which helped no one and was, to judge from contemporary reports, equivalent to torture. The paradox of these treatments seems to be that only the ones that worked, even slightly, gained enough acceptance to be remembered after becoming obsolete; the ones that didn’t work at all, and were therefore the most horrific, are simply forgotten.
Is there significance to the writing on the chainsaw? Or is that just a brand of chainsaw. I don’t buy those much.
Animal Terror Stix has some fine dreads. Get it?
Stihl makes a large variety of handheld power equipment: http://advancedpowerequipment.com/eq3.html
I like this comic a lot; I’d known about insulin convulsion therapy from /A Beautiful Mind/, but not the others. Please let me know where I can type in my credit card number to receive a book.
Psst, OCD alert: This comic and “A Conversation With Walter” are missing their Walter tags.
Hurr. I have a tendency to forget those pesky tags. Good eye, thanks!
