Boise Ed sends this in: “For years, the doctor has been on Ed’s (no relation) case about his weight. Nothing to do with me, no sir.”
Alt-text: If you think curiosity without rigor is bad, you should see rigor without curiosity.
chemgal sends this in: “For those unfamiliar with the strip, it’s worth noting that she is the mother of the young streaker, and the coach chasing him is his dad. Her very chill attitude contrasting the wide-eyed stared of the other spectators is what made me laugh.”

Gotta love the Heimlichosaur.
Interesting how the doctor and patient look exactly the same
@Ivy, one’s chinless and the other has a very prominent chin.
My sister, retired schoolteacher, especially liked the doctor one, suggested she could have used the same technique at parent-teacher conferences…
@Patrick, the doctor reminds me of the Easter Island heads.
I will agree that Ed doesn’t look much more overweight than the doctor.
I remember going to a GP surgery about 30 years ago; as a result of routine tests it was clear I could stand to lose some weight. Unfortunately all the permanent establishment – doctors and nurses and reception staff too – were considerably more rotund than I was (and some of them smoked, too). They got a lean-as-a-bean visiting locum nurse to pass on the weight-loss advice to me. (I wonder if that was her main role: travelling all over the area looking trim and fit, advising on healthy living on behalf of medical staff who couldn’t do it themselves with a straight face).
Doctor will bring up my weight at our annual visit. I have explained to him that I weigh about 2/3 of what I did at my heaviest. In addition when we cleared out my mom’s house I came across a high school report card and I weighed exactly the same amount in high school as I do now (50 or so years later) and his attitude towards my weight changes.
@1. I thought those were dragons.
They have to be dragons. Who else eats knights in shining armor?
