    Bearman Cartoon - How Elvis Died

    Along with Monday’s post, this makes my second entry into Dialogue Free Comics Day.  Check out some other entries.

    I was all excited when I heard this story last week and several days went by without the Loonpicking up on the story (cause the girl has every tabloid on her RSS reader).  But then friggin Duncan had to post it on Mad Hatters.   While it is old news that Elvis suffered from constipation, it has recently been openly discussed by his personal physician the issues he had with it.

    Seems it wasn’t the drugs or the peanut butter and fried chicken sandwiches that did him in, but rather constipation.  See Elvis couldn’t take a normal healthy constitution.  In fact he went days nay weeks without so much as a rabbit turd making its way to the sewers.  All that weight gain was caused by a failure to clean the bowels.  In fact pictures taken weeks apart would show Elvis looking like he either gained or lost 20 lbs depending on if he could relieve himself.

    Personally when I strain I think I am going to have a stroke…but lo and behold he went and strained so much for so long that his heart finally gave out.

    Back then I guess Immodium wasn’t so popular and he could have had a colostomy but he feared pooping himself onstage and unfortunately vanity did not serve him well.  His autopsy revealed his colon was way bigger than the norm and they found 4-5 month old feces still in him.  YUCK.
