And he has the phantom of the opera coming to get her. As a breast cancer survivor who has suffered a recurrence, I hate this comic. Tom has no idea what it feels like to suffer from cancer and die. He should keep his comic funny and light. I hated this and then to culminate it in breast cancer month. I can't think of anything worse. |

From what I've read the response has been postitive to the comic strip. The comic strip deals with the characters interaction with Lisa. If you were reading the strip, you might have found the recent weeks storyline of dealing with the impending death more important. I'm truly sorry for your recurrence and I hope that this strip and Awareness Month might work to save lives. |

I have lost family and frineds to Cancer, and I also have Cancer. I was not offended in the least by the strip - I was touched. Thank you for telling our story. |
