Picture
The Boon Docs is a comic about practicing medicine in a small town. It's about raising chickens and having sheep instead of a lawnmower. It's about being nice to your neighbours (or else). But don't be fooled: it is not always simple or idyllic. There are hungry bears and peckish raccoons out there. Rumors get around faster than the ambulance, and the store often runs out of milk.
