Bottoms up!
“Your Colon and You,” by Toby Morton and the Colorectal Task Force media and awareness team; coloradocancer
A funny ending.
Former “South Park” writer and producer Morton is, um, behind this incredibly entertaining cartoon on the importance of colonoscopies. The story, told in the smarmy, enthusiastic style of old health films, follows Jo Jo as he books himself a colonoscopy. Too bad they neglected to mention how much fun the Versed sedative is!
