Graphic Cartoon Stress Meter

Premise

Graphical presentation of the effects of stress on a person for the entertainment and education of everyone.

Format

1. Cartoon Drawing Of A Person
2. Cartoon Drawing Of A Weight

The Person Is Holding The Weight On Their Shoulders

Stressors are added to the weight on the person's shoulders and when Stressors are added, the person shows the effects of the added stress.

Releases are actions which remove the weight from the person's shoulders.

Example

Stressor : Disatisfaction with Job
Effect : Acne Breakouts on Face
Release : Finding a job which brings satisfaction

Stressor : Social isolation
Effect : Sore knees
Release : Finding people who accept you

Conclusion

The more and more Stressors added to the weight the poor person is carrying on their back, the more and more negative Effects show up on the poor person, until they look like an Igor or The Hunchback Of Notredame.

It's funny to see the cartoon getting all stressed out, but at the same time saddening to see what was an attractive cartoon representation of a person, become a hideous, caricature of their once attractive self because of the burden of all the stress placed on them.
