I’ve had periodic relapses of Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome over the years. The first was in mid-1991, while storyboarding on the first season of
Batman. The second was in the early 1993 while drawing this second installment
of “The Mark”. Actually it wasn’t brought on by drawing but by riding my
bicycle to the corner store. Apparently the awkward position of my grip on the
handlebars was the trigger I needed to set off another painful period that
lasted the rest of the year.
Following the recommendation of friends, I tried
three different chiropractors, a biofeedback trainer and, a masseuse. All of
these were on the west side of Los Angeles or in Santa Monica, 10 miles away
from my home in the Elysian Valley Neighborhood Council District of Los
Angeles. I was making this commute at least 3 times a week for several months
until my second chiro took pity on me and referred me to an associate half a
mile from my house.

“The Mark: What Goes Around”, written by Mike Barr, drawn by Brad Rader,
published in December, 1993.
