Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe (2000, 2007)
by Tom Batiuk
A story from the comic strips that will make you
laugh and make you cry.
In 1999, Lisa Moore, one of Funky Winkerbean's friends and a main character
in the comic strip, discovered she had breast cancer. After a mastectomy and
chemotherapy, Lisa was cancer free. She finished her law degree, opened a
practice, and had a baby daughter, Summer. Then, in the spring of 2006 the
cancer returned. Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe is a collection of both
the 1999 comic strips about Lisa's initial battle with cancer and the final
series that examined her struggle with the disease and its outcome.
Tom Batiuk, unsure about dealing with the serious subject of cancer on the
funny pages, decided to go ahead with the story line. He approached the
topic with the idea that mixing humor with serious and real themes heightens
the reader's interest. Lisa and husband Les faced the same physical,
psychological, and social issues as anyone else dealing with the disease.
Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe contains resource material on breast
cancer, including early detection, information sources, support systems, and
health care.
