Pirahna Medic?


Many of you have been wondering who and what is Pirahna Medic? The following is the history and evolution of "Aggressively Caring".

Last year, it seems so long ago, I was driving up hwy. 5 through the breadbasket of the state aka the San Joaquin Valley to visit my sister Linda. There was a truck in my lane and it had a logo of a pirahna on the side. Now I can't remember what the company was or what they sold, I think it was air-conditioning (which makes sense in that part of the state). Not only did the logo catch my eye but the slogan was great, I think it was "Aggressively Cooling" which fits if it was air-conditioning.

I started to think about my work as a medic and my full service cart and I made the leap to, "Aggressively Caring". Months later, I pleaded with older son Hunter to draw a pirahna for cards. He came up with a few images and then lost them in his black hole of a room for a few more months.

I found the image while working on "G.I. Joe" and the Standby Painter was going to make decals but the show ended before he could complete the task. Here is the image in all it's glory.
