'Age Is Just a Number': At 91, Comic Artist Is Still Able to Draw Night and Day Without a Break
Margo Morillo is one of the oldest comic artists in the industry. She started drawing comics in 1957 and has since created many successful art and comics. But the magic came at a price.
Being a comic artist is physically taxing. Long hours sitting at the drawing board strain muscles, especially those in the neck. Despite the pain, Margo continued to draw for 73 years and counting.
“Being at a drawing board for 8-10 hours a day takes a toll on the body, but I want to deliver my best.”
“I wouldn’t give it up for anything in the world.” – Margo
Margo: “It Felt Like Someone Had Poured Hot Cement on My Neck. It Was Heavy and Hot.”
One day, during her autograph session at a comic convention, she felt her neck throb. She didn’t want to disappoint the fans who came from all over to see her, so she brushed it off and continued chatting with them happily.
Suddenly, she felt her body slump forward and the next thing she knew, she had blacked out.
When she woke up, she found herself in the hospital. The doctor broke the news of her neck to her:
“Years of hunching over your desk has worn down your neck muscles.”
“Stop drawing and rest or you’ll cause permanent damage.”
Margo Was at a Loss
As a freelancer, Margo lived hand to mouth and funded her own comics. If she took rest like the doctor insisted, she’ll go broke.
“And my readers… they’d leave and forget me.” – Margo
But her fans proved her wrong. Flowers and ‘get well soon’ cards soon flooded her home. Margo was in disbelief and broke down from the love she received.
“That was when I decided I couldn’t mope around.”
“I had to get better and start drawing again.” – Margo
Margo Tried Everything She Could Afford
From medication to doing neck exercises and stretches — she tried them all, but nothing worked.
Running out of funds and alternatives, Margo became depressed. She decided to take the doctor’s advice to rest and announced that she was going to be on “indefinite hiatus”. Her fans didn’t take it lightly as they sent thousands of concerned messages and replies to her on her social media.
A particular message caught her attention.
It was from a doctor whose daughter was a super fan of Margo. The doctor, Dr. Miranda Hayes, decided to lend Margo a helping hand after hearing about her situation from her daughter.
“As a physical therapist, the injury I see most on a daily basis is neck pain.”
“I always find that cervical traction provides the most relief. However, most at-home traction devices are either too expensive or too bulky or cheaply made and ineffective.” – Dr. Miranda
“This Is Why I Created Nammock™.”
The science behind it is simple.
The Nammock™ helps the neck muscles relax and stretch, gradually opening up the neck. This helps to release pinched nerves, reduce herniated and bulging discs, and allow better blood circulation — oxygenating the muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments. As the result, you will walk away with increased neck comfort and mobility.
“The key to relieving neck pain permanently is through consistency and the Nammock™ makes that easy because it’s portable so you can stretch whenever and wherever, and it only takes 10 minutes to be effective.”
“All you have to do is lie back and relax. It’ll do all the hard work for you.” – Dr. Miranda
Taking Fate into Her Own Hands
Margo jumped at the chance to try Nammock™ and she thanked her lucky stars that she did.
“I was surprised by how relaxed I was while I was using the hammock. I immediately wanted to fall asleep.”
“It took a load off my neck and opened it up in ways I didn’t know were possible. The years of built up stiffness and tension were gone in 10 minutes.”
“After a month, I felt like my younger self. No pain at all!” – Margo
Margo’s doctor was shocked by her quick recovery. She even gave her the green light to draw again.
Her Determination Paid Off
Margo continued to use the Nammock™ every day. It allowed her to sleep painlessly and wake up refreshed.
“It was the first time in a while that I drew without pain fogging up my brain.” – Margo
With new vigor, Margo created her best work yet after her recovery. It even won her the Best Independent Comics award.
“It’s all thanks to my supportive readers and Dr. Miranda who introduced Nammock™ to me.”
“With everyone’s love and kindness, I am still here drawing amazing comics.” – Margo
