I Feel Sick #1 (August 1999 Slave Labor Graphics) by Jhonen Vasquez with Rikki Simons. Not quite a cursing away at the rest of the human race, but more a testament to love and friendship's uncanny ability to make one buckle at the knees and purge their stomachs in the most violent projectile of manners. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:I Feel Sick is a comic book created by artist Jhonen Vasquez,[1] with colors by Rosearik Rikki Simons. Published in August 1999 through May 2000, it is a spin-off of Vasquez's comic book series Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.[2][3] I Feel Sick revolves around Devi D, a graphic designer who must face the same supernatural and psychological forces that drove Johnny C. to lunacy. Published by Slave Labor Graphics,[4] it was originally intended as a single paperback but was split into two issues. Vasquez said the creation process of I Feel Sick was cathartic. Devi's problems working for Nerve Publishing and neglecting her own work are reminiscent of the pressure Vasquez experienced working on Invader Zim, an animated television series he created for Nickelodeon. SummaryThe series begins as Devi attempts to destroy her own painting, but finds the painting untouched afterward. Tenna, her neighbor and friend, comes upstairs to check on her. This leads to a flashback about a date Devi had with a boy named Eddie. After the two fail to connect, Devi asks to go home and Eddie makes a forceful move on her while driving. The two crash into a tree where they are trapped in the car. Eddie has lost an eye and has glass shards inside of his brain. The only thing keeping him alive is the thought he still has a chance of sleeping with Devi. They are trapped in his car overnight until Eddie is eventually killed by a deployed airbag. The flashback ends and Devi explains that the painting was one she never finished, and it has started talking to her. She has nicknamed the painting "Sickness," and the only way to silence it is by working. Tenna suggests that she is just working too hard, but Devi believes supernatural forces are interfering with her painting, and past experiences have given her good reason to isolate herself. She tells a story about another date with a man who defecated himself at the dinner table (as seen in Issue 2 of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac). In another flashback, Devi is approached in a nightclub by a man dressed as a vampire. He tells her about his strange obsession with vampires. When he uses a smoke bomb to dramatically leave the conversation, he sets himself on fire. On another date, Devi joked about her date being a zombie, and he bites a waiter's brain out of his skull. Tenna is still unconvinced and asks why the "spooky painting" wants to make her go insane. Devi doesn't know, but ever since she started a new freelance job, things have gotten worse. Constant distractions stop her from painting, like phone calls and people coming over. Even Tenna has become a huge distraction, and Devi asks her to leave. Alone now, Devi asks the painting what it wants and why it's distracting her from her work. The painting says it's simply a voice in her head and not to bother fighting. It and its colleagues are professionals who have done this before. Devi vows to work as hard as she can until the painting dries up, and she stops talking. However, she accidentally injures her hands, meaning she can no longer paint to fight Sickness.
