Comic: Cancer Vixen







Comic: Cancer Vixen

Comic: Cancer Vixen 04/13/2005 10:49 PM

Xeni Jardin: Today's New York Times has a great profile of Marisa Acocella Marchetto, the New York-based illustrator who chronicled her battle with cancer in a comic strip called "Cancer Vixen" which you can see in the current issue of Glamour.


In the cartoon version of her life, Cancer Vixen attends a fund-raiser for a breast cancer book and spots a woman who has covered her smooth pate with a chic silk scarf. "How stylish is that Pucci headwrap," she comments to a friend. "Maybe I should've gotten the heavier chemo."

Her friend warns her not to joke about such things. Moments later, two women with closely cropped hair accost Cancer Vixen, wondering why she still has long blond tresses.

"I-I-I did the lighter chemo," a shrinking Cancer Vixen stammers. "Change your doctor! Change your protocol!" one woman screams in response. "You have to be aggressive and bomb the hell out of your body. ...I did," the other adds.

"Some of the moments were not funny when they were actually happening to me," Mrs. Marchetto recalled. "But my mom would be, like, 'Material, material!' "
