[That's not a prehensile tail] A few people I know had the swine flu in the last few months. A friend in DC mentioned he's stuck at home with it now. This made me think of the sort of symptoms one might get. The tricky part of the drawing was to show both the face with the nose and the rear with the tail. I'm hoping it's clear enough that there is a little curly tail visible in the mirror.

I remember a comic strip the last time the swine flu made the rounds. It was Ziggy, and he was sitting on a doctor's table with the doctor saying "worst case of swine flu I've seen" and Ziggy had the piggy nose. So of course I can't claim originality. images/Drawings/Sketches/flu.png
