Hats off to all the loving fathers out there, who can take out the trash AND change an infusion set with equal savvy.
Something special for you all today from our fave type 1 illustrator Haidee Merritt:
Sunday Funnies: D-Fathers, Unite!
A gold mine of straight talk and encouragement for people living with diabetes
I’m proud to be the first (today anyway) to say how great it is to wake up on sunday mornings to Haidee’s illustrations and witty humor! If only I could draw and think like her. !!!!!! Happy Father’s Day, everyone.
The Sunday Funnie is the sole reason i visit this website!
I love it. Maybe the tie would have one actual tester sewn in!
Always so very clever, Haidee! Looking forward to next week’s ‘toon.
So perfect! Someone could make a fortune with that!
Haidee should copyright that tie before Vineyard Vines snags it!
I love the cartoon and just shared with my Father.
A big appreciative hug to all of the Father’s reading these comments this morning.
OMG That Tie illustration is the BEST! I agree, copyright it!
…..oh my! I really appreciate how you bring humor to such a crazy thing as diabetes, I lost my dad to complications from d2 and thus take heart to your unique and honest pov. Thank you!!!
wonderful, couageous woman
I agree…. I found this website because of haidee – i am sure i am not the only one who comes here because of the sunday funnie. Keep up the good work, girl!!!
Thanks for another great illustration Haidee!! I love your balance between honesty and humor. So much fun to have a new Sunday highlight!
Haidee’s cartoons are always great! They fuse the daily “living with diabetes” with humor into cartoons. As a father and a cartoonist and an educator and endocrinologist – diabetologist, I say “Excellent job Haidee from multiple angles!” Justin (Justin Grady Matrisciano MD – Dr. Grady/CartoonMD.com)
Thanks for the chuckle Haidee.
Justin! Means a lot coming from ALL those angles! xo
You are such a talented artist! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next! I love to see things from your point of view! Well done, as always!
Haidee You have so much talent…. how about a clothing line next..??
Kudos well-deserved, Haidee! We are so happy to have you on the team
Love it, Haidee.
Haidee is a rare bird – what a terrific creative mind!!!
Well done, Haidee! Visually appealing and the point well made. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Well done, Haidee. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
You are so talented Haidee! Your ability to step back and view diabetes with humor is impressive.
Love your work, Haidee!
Ha! I would have totally bought that tie for my husband to wear to the ADA Kiss-a-Pig gala this year.
What a lovely way to end Fathers Day by viewing your artwork!
Thanks for making me smile. Love it.
Love it!
dawg- you ROCKED this one. SO SO SO SO clever. love it.
I keep staring at the shirt buttons and love the way they look. I’m starting to feel even more fortunate that I have a couple of original pieces of your work hanging in my home. You rock, Haidee!
I imagine that were the illustration in color, the tie would be red to camouflage all those renegade blood drops that get everywhere…
Love the pattern. Beats the ole Rep pattern! I think I see a branding opportunity there: promotional gifts at trade shows, etc.
Nice one, Haidee!
Such a great artist
it took me a moment to figure it out… coulda been the martini in hand, but i love it. do you do these illustrations of objects? I would love an illustrated lamp shade.. why that popped into my head eludes me but…
Keep up the good work and in a year or so you will have enough material to do a “best of” book, kind of like Garfield or Calvin and Hobbs!!
There’s the talented & inspiring… and then there’s Haidee talented & inspiring!
