Huge kudos to long-time Last Kiss fan (and life-long wit) Jim Guida for today’s gag. Jim has written the dialogue for several Last Kiss gags now. And I’m happy to say that I suspect there will be more.
Although I’ve got a lot of doctor art in my archive, I didn’t have anything that quite fit my needs for this gag. So, I ended up putting together characters from two different stories. Unfortunately, they’re by two artists with very different styles. So, the art’s not as seamless as I’d like. But the reaction from the woman is perfect for the joke. So, I went with it!

Ha! I like it. Thanks for the laugh. It was needed.
I’m glad Jim Guida and I could help out!
This reminds me of something I found hilarious when I was about 14* but it’s definitely NSFW.
*so I still think it’s funny. Instead, I’ll just say it this way:
Son asks his dad, “Dad, how old do you have to be when immature humor stops being funny?”
Dad says “I don’t know, son, but it’s not 51.”
It’s an indirect route:
The thigh bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the head bone.
It’s obvious that she has bad thyroid disease. She thinks it is an ear infection, and he that it is a gynaecological problem. There is space there for a malpractice lawyer to make a fortune.
“Yes, Maam. I need to rule out any referred pain”
Yeah, she looks like she just got probed… He does kind of look like an alien though, doesn’t he?
Judging by the look on her face, I’d hate to have to guess how long his finger is!
