Thanks for the link, Mz NR, the perilous alphabet book is brilliant. Reminded me of Bunny Suicides... gotta love these dark cartoons. Would you show it to children though? How young? Well, it's a reality check for sure, isn't it? Life is not all about rainbows and fat cats sitting on mats.

Mz MC, the name Phlegm is certainly an eyebrows raiser. But apparently there is a bit more to the choice of name:

Humourism is an ancient theory that the human body is filled with four basic substances, called the four humours, which are held in balance when a person is healthy. It is closely related to the ancient theory of the four elements and states that all diseases and disabilities result from an excess or deficit in black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. Hippocrates, an ancient Greek medical doctor, is credited for this theory, about 400 BC. It influenced medical thinking for more than 2,000 years, until finally discredited in the 1800s.
