Non spoonies don’t get it.

A comic about controlling your symptoms and trying to get other people to understand why it’s so hard to do so, in goo form

[Image Description: A simplistic black-and-white 18-panel comic. Each new image is a separate panel.

In the first panel, there is a black goo monster. It is a blob of shiny black goo. A small glob of goo has dripped from its body onto the ground to the left. Above it is text that reads, “I drip goo sometimes.” At the bottom right corner, it says, “By b 4 us.”

The next panel shows the goo monster bent over trying to pick up a bit of goo that dropped from it. The goo monster says, “Oh no.” Above it is text that reads, “I try not to, I try my hardest.”

The next panel shows the goo monster holding a jar partly filled with goo. Above it is text that reads, “Sometimes I put it in little jars.”

The next panel shows the goo monster holding a book. There are three drops of goo around the goo monster. Above it is text that reads, “I study why I’m gooey and what I can do to make less goo.”

The next panel shows the monster holding a medicine bottle. Above it is text that reads, “I take goo pills. They help me make less goo.”

The next panel shoes the goo monster holding out its arm while goo drips from it. Above it is text that reads, “But I’m a goo monster. I drip goo sometimes.”

The next panel shows the goo monster looking down at a humanoid onion character standing on the right. The onion character has goo on their foot, and they look disgruntled. Above it is text that reads, “Sometimes my goo gets on other people. That’s bad. I don’t want that.”

The next panel shows the onion character from the chest up. They are pointing up, presumably at the off-panel goo monster. The onion person proclaims, “There’s goo on my shoe!”

The next panel shows the goo monster holding up a hand apologetically. The goo monster says, “Sorry. I’m made of goo.”

The next panel shows the onion character from the chest up. They are curling their arms in front of them. They look rather exasperated now. The onion character exclaims, “That’s no excuse for making goo! I never make goo!”

The next panel shows the slime monster and the onion character again. The onion character appears angry and is crossing their arms. There is still goo on the onion character’s foot. The goo monster explains, “You aren’t a goo person. You are an onion. I make more goo than you.”

The next panel shows the angry onion character pointing to a different black goo monster. The onion character argues, “He doesn’t drip goo! Neither should you!”

The next panel shows that previously mentioned goo monster. There are bits of goo floating above his arms and head. The first goo monster explains, “He makes different goo. His goes upways.”

The next panel shows the onion character. There are three lines to show that they are scoffing. The onion character exclaims, “Well clearly you’re not really trying to stop making goo!”

The next panel shows the first goo monster again. Above it is text that says, “I want to say I am trying.”

The next panel shows the goo monster holding out a dripping arm. Above it is text that says, “That I’m sorry. That it isn’t on purpose. That I can’t always control it.” Below it is text that says, “But I want to do better. I want to be better. But any time I mention my goo people get angry.”

The next panel shows the goo monster bent over and dripping into a puddle of goo. Above it is text that says, “I don’t want special treatment. I don’t want to use it as an excuse.” Below it is text that says, “I just want you to understand.”

The last panel has only text that says, “I’m a goo monster. I drip goo sometimes.”
