I Feel Sick

I Feel Sick is a comic book created by artist Jhonen Vasquez,[1] with colors by Rosearik Rikki Simons.

Published in August 1999 through May 2000, it is a spin-off of Vasquez's comic book series Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

[2][3] I Feel Sick revolves around Devi D, a graphic designer who must face the same supernatural and psychological forces that drove Johnny C. to lunacy.

Published by Slave Labor Graphics,[4] it was originally intended as a single paperback but was split into two issues.

After the two fail to connect, Devi asks to go home and Eddie makes a forceful move on her while driving.

Tenna suggests that she is just working too hard, but Devi believes supernatural forces are interfering with her painting, and past experiences have given her good reason to isolate herself.

She tells a story about another date with a man who defecated himself at the dinner table (as seen in Issue 2 of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac).

After connecting Johnny's story with her own, Devi quits her job and rushes home, determined to beat Sickness.

It shows her a scene from her childhood when a boy by the name of Spidgey Simons gives her a Valentine's Day card.

The series ends with Devi and Tenna overlooking the town, watching a plane crash into their apartment building.

Since her appearance in JtHM issue 7, she has quit her job at the local bookstore to become a graphic designer and cover artist for Nerve Publishing.

Tenna is Devi's friend and neighbor who owns a squeaky toy named Spooky whom she talks to constantly.

A doll version of Spooky appears in Layla Miller's room during the Marvel Comics House of M event.

An obese woman with psychic fat who shares her visions that Devi will die in a plane crash.

In a flashback, Devi remembers what led to their disastrous date in issue #2 of JtHM and realizes Johnny had the same sickness she has.
