2015-03-25 22:13:15 +0000 UTCHi, Erika! Thanks for this beautiful and complex-themed comic, as always. I found abortion a particularly difficult subject, but I am glad that a great artist like you is capable of dealing with it in a positive and informational approach. I very much enjoy the way you pass all this medical and biological information in an elegant and accurate way. Also, of course, it is always good to see your weekly shades of pink. ^^ Just one little correction though, and sorry to bother you with such a trifle issue: the medical symbol you use in one of the panels (Hermes' Caduceus) is one that's been mistakenly adopted in the US (and thenceforth in the whole world), but does not represent the original symbol of medicine, which is the Rod of Asclepius. The idea of associating medicine with trade and commerce (and, therefore, Hermes) is not always appreciated by us physicians, although I do not see a particular intrinsic problem with that. =D Some links to clarification: 1- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus_as_a_symbol_of_medicine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus_as_a_symbol_of_medicine</a> 2- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius</a> Just to share the information. Thanks again for the good art.

2015-03-25 22:10:23 +0000 UTCThank you for this comic Erika. <3 This charged subject can easily drown out compassionate voices and for people who are in a situation that they are unsure of how to deal with, a compassionate voice is the only thing they need. I look forward to the next weeks and months of your beautiful comic!

It's pretty great. This is a heated subject, but you de-heated it as much as I can imagine anyone doing it. Great page(s). Thank you.
