The Mona Vie Meeting

Sorry, but this comic is temporarily gone. I'm at a point right now where a comic criticizing the person in question is not to my advantage.

During the presentation shown in the comic, the pitchman actually asked if anyone'd heard of Mona Vie before. Well, I had. I'd heard about from the Skeptoid podcast, put out by Brian Dunning, who manages to put together a brief, yet extremely informative podcast. He did an episode on superjuices, where Mona Vie was mentioned.

However, I still hold fast to my statement that if someone trying to sell you on Mona Vie says it got rid of cancer cells, they're full of shit, and I urge you to tell them so.

Introduction

Hey, everyone. My name is Jerry and I'm a skeptic. I'm certain that you doubt my sincerity, but hopefully, I can present you with empirical evidence to prove my claim. This is a new little side project that I'm working on that will be comics of examples in daily life where critical thinking and/or science intersect with daily life.

There's a half-finished page on my drawing table now, and another instance came up late last week when someone tried to get me to become a Mona Vie distributor. Hopefully, by this weekend, I'll have the first one done. I've got to find a way to do the Mona Vie comic so that the identity of the pitchman is concealed. There's the possibility of a third comic that just broke today, but it may be too "inside" as far as comics are concerned.

I work full-time and try to maintain a healthy balance of attention with my wife and two dogs, so this will not be a regular thing that I do. I'm also working on another comic and redesigning my website, carpaltunnelpress. It's all a matter of finding the time to draw, but then again, there's that balance thing.

I'm going to work on the design of this little blog in the meantime, so please check out some of the links I'll put somewhere, just in case you already don't know about these people. If you came here because you were searching for something skeptical, you probably already know about them. If you came here because of comics, then check them out.
