I love the phrasing "Panel 17: The sky has been brightened." I'm just commenting to preserve it from edits.

+ | ::As someone who works in medical research, I find the previous comment damaging. It is very close to a conspiracy theory. The names chemotherapy and radiation haven't changed, but the methods have. The side-effects are still decreasing dramatically, as they should. It is true that immunotherapie is the new kid on the block and shows a lot of promise, but it is currently very limited in what types of cancer it can treat, and it costs twice the national debt to treat someone. I don't know too much about the situation in the US, but generally I would say the fear for litigation ensures the use of modern implementation of old techniques. Ever think of ultrasound? It is ancient, but it is still a valuable tool. (Also, remember CEO's of Big Pharma also deal with cancer in their families, and they also get chemo and radiation.)[[Special:Contributions/172.68.142.113|172.68.142.113]] 08:01, 15 December 2017 (UTC) | ||

I don't want to take away anything from this very moving comic, but he does realize there's an eclipse or two <i>every</i> year, somewhere on the planet? Does the fear of cancer somehow limit them from ever leaving the US? | I don't want to take away anything from this very moving comic, but he does realize there's an eclipse or two <i>every</i> year, somewhere on the planet?

In [[931: Lanes]] his friends asks if they are "out of the woods". Maybe that's what panel 9 is all about? They are still in danger and therefor "into the woods"? | In [[931: Lanes]] his friends asks if they are "out of the woods". Maybe that's what panel 9 is all about?
