From Jack Applin:
He notes:
In this scene from The Shining, it’s funny that he would call a blood splatter expert to analyze thousands of gallons of blood. Ha! The mystery is the names. Who is Tom Wilkins? Who is Phil?
Well, I’m Phil, but not THAT Phil, so I’m with him! Anyone??
Perhaps even weirder, when I search for
“Tom wilkins” blood spatter
I get mostly hits for this cartoon–including from the Andertoons site, where it’s filed under “Holiday Cartoons”. What kind of holiday?!?!
A reference to The Shining, a Kubrick movie based on a Stephen King novel.

I expect the names in this strip are just randomly chosen, or maybe even names of people the cartoonist knows. Sometimes these days cartoonists put names of Patreon supporters into strips. Either way, I don’t think they’re supposed to be actual noted blood spatter experts.
The holiday might be Halloween?

There’s too much blood for one blood-splatter expert to handle.
