​The Book
​

"This book is a must for all Lyme sufferers and their family and friends. I have been following David's cartoons for a while on social media, and they are extremely funny and raise awareness about the many issues facing people with this horrible disease. Get this book -- you can use it to explain Lyme to everyone you know. A picture says a thousand words." - Vicki L
David Skidmore, author and cartoonist, has completed his first book “Lyme Loonies”: a passionately crafted work that aims to use laughter as medicine. 

David Skidmore’s poignant tale is a heartfelt work and biography that uses animated characters to open a window to Lyme disease. 

Life is either a comedy or tragedy. “Lyme Loonies” is a little bit of both. In the first cartoon book about Lyme disease, creator David Skidmore captures and illuminates the struggles faced by those with Lyme. The cartoons are a way of expressing hope, humor and revolt at the tug-of-war in which the Lyme community find themselves regarding diagnosis, treatment, education, funding, prevention, public apathy and a cure.
"Every cartoon in the series is brilliant. Each one strikes a chord with Lyme sufferers, as the cartoons portray our struggles to perfection, while helping us thumb our noses at the nightmare and remember to laugh. What could possibly be more powerful than that? I hope that everyone who purchases this book, will really give a bit of thought to each situation illustrated..." -C.B. Congdon
"Lyme Loonies” is a book created in solidarity with those familiar with Lyme disease. Readers will laugh and maybe even cry, definitely shake their head, then most likely smile. Readers’ palms also might hit their face a little too hard a couple times, but a sense of relief will follow knowing that they are not alone. It is a book to share with family, friends and those who are unaware of Lyme, because education and awareness will bring the change we all want, need and deserve. 

If laughter really is the best medicine, then a daily dose of Lyme Loonies is just what readers need.
