Banned book or not? Can you guess from the plot?
Objections rise from issues like sexual content and profanity or racial slurs and stereotypes. PEN America counted 6,870 bans across 23 states in the 2024-2025 school year.

![four-panel comic strip titled "Sick and Tired Of Being Sick and Tired". It features a simple, white stick-figure character dealing with the cycle of chronic fatigue and guilt.
The website watermark "MyBodyIsTryingToKillMe.com [Funny Chronic Illness Store]" is visible at the bottom of the second and fourth panels.
The text and actions by panel:
Panel 1: The character is lying flat on their stomach, smiling slightly with a small scribble cloud above their head.
Text: "I Need To Get Up So I'm Productive!!"
Panel 2: The character attempts to push themselves up on their knees but looks exhausted.
Text: "Urghhhh"
Panel 3: The character gives up and collapses into a curled-up position on the floor.
Text: "Sorry. Maybe Tomorrow!"
Panel 4: Under the heading "TOMORROW:", the character is standing up, straining to lift a massive, heavy weight labeled "GUILT" over their head.
Text: "This is heavy"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dbzmdmsaz6lkhb4tv3culzme/bafkreibyyt53lpjqqwdnhlbiniw27quzbmmlr57o32ulgn33an4xstheb4)
