Tuberculosis Comics

I like comics as much as the next person but I found this Tuberculosis comic to be a little heavy handed.

It at least seemed a little edgy when I thought Laura, Juan and Joe were in a post-modern threesome but when a mysterious blond woman turned up on the final page I had to read the first page again to find out she was Juan's wife who had disappeared for pages 3-10 and is so unimportant we never know her name - unless I missed that. What's with the heavy handed emphasis on BEST friends?

Oh and there's a bunch of stuff about tuberculosis in there too.

I think I prefer this Soccer themed one. I like the fact that the Tuberculosis players have a variety of different names on their chest. 'Tuberculosis sputum' actually sounds like it could be the name of a European Soccer club.
