Blondie comic

Blondie is a long-running American comic strip.

ME/CFS & SEID comic strip
Blondie published a cartoon strip in February 2016 that implied the disease was simply tiredness, referring to the new name proposed by the Institute of Medicine report, Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID).



Complaints
A letter to the Washington Post complained "I’m surprised that this uninformed and tasteless strip was published".

Lucinda Bateman of the The Bateman Horne Center wrote a letter of complaint, criticising them for risking perpetuating a "gross misunderstanding of the severity of ME/CFS".
