C is for Compress

I'm actually up to H, which is for hemorrhagic fever, heart palpitations,  headaches and a hundred other reasons homework has to be held off.It's also for hazardous, something you probably didn't think writing and illustrating a childish book could be. You would be wrong of course because when you ask your family, including your 6'2" not-quite-a-grown-man to participate in a family hug on the couch so you can get a picture to copy, you learn that not only is C for Cookie and Cake and Cuddle. It's for Compress and "Can I see my life flash in front of my eyes?"
