The word soma appears frequently in comics illustrated by Micah Gunnell
About
"Soma" is the Greek word for "body". It is used in anatomy to refer to cell bodies, such as the soma of neurons, and is the root of the words "somatic" and "psychosomatic". "Soma" is also the name of a hallucinegenic drink used ritualistically by early vedic and Persian cultures. The exact plant used is no longer known, but it has been hypothesized to be either a hallucinegenic mushroom or cannabis.
In a question-and-answer session on the Aspen Comics website forum, Micah declined to reveal what his reference to "soma" means.
