Terminal Illness

In today's Dinette Set, Burl returns to the doctor, causing the reader to:
  • Wonder where Joy is.
  • Re-visit the question of what the band-aid on the doctor's head is supposed to signify.
  • Instill hope that perhaps the doctor is a quack and has misdiagnosed Burl's terminal illness as chronic hypochondria.
  • Include an eye chart on the wall, despite the fact that this is a doctor's office, not an optometrist's office.
  • Come far, far closer to showing Burl's naked ass than should ever be allowed in polite society.

Oy! Must suppress the gag reflex! but the thought of seeing Burl's naked heinie will make this very difficult to do.

Amazing how, even though the wall the shelf is on appears to be right next to him, Burl's underwear is only a fraction of the size of his unfortunately-visible rear. And what's with the Kleenex-branded pockets? The only reason I can think to point out that someone has Kleenex in their pocket is because you think they shouldn't... is Ms. Larson some sort of Kleenexaphobe? Or does she think people should just throw them in the floor?
