Uncle $crooge sends this in: “It’s probably some kind of weird McEldowney fetish so I probably will regret sending this in and learning something that I really don’t want to know. Still, maybe it’s just a harmless joke; I just have no idea what this strip is about.”
I don’t really understand it, either, but I’m giving it an Arlo tag just because it’s McEldowney. The ones before and after this one are also themed The Thorax Clinic, but have a different patient.
Could be pure randomness. The young pianist married to one of the twins opened a concert with “Hold my calls.”

I’m at a complete loss. I’m not even sure what the “Thorax Clinic” is supposed to mean, even knowing the guy’s name is Thorax. It all sounds vaguely naughty, but mostly just vague.
If it weren’t for the continuity of art I would think these were panels from different comics, one with a punchline about farming and one with a setup about writing.

It feels like Thorax is declining to ghost-write a memoir.

He is offering foreplay vs. consummation.
This reeks of Foghorn Leghorn and Miss Prissy on top of regular 9CL reekitude.

I was proud of myself for remembering that Thorax is the big guy’s name. (I culled this strip a few years ago.) I might have an idea about it, though: He thinks she is writing a “dirty” book, so he’s saying he won’t edit it (“till your soil”) but he’ll promote it.

This was part of an arc. In a couple, people have come to consult “Dr. Thorax”. In others he seems to be accosting people with unsolicited information. That ncludes this one. And one with a cat that seems to just be a bit of a dirty joke. I had also dropped the strip, about the time “Lolly and Polly” suddenly achieved adulthood. That just added more people to be having sex.
