"Tuttle's" by Sam

Colonoscopy Prep

Gee. Can you guess what medical procedure I was preparing for when I drew this one?

My big question about doing this strip was that “don’t sweat it” might be so old no one knew what it meant. Did it anyway.

Some of you may recognize the game Phydeaux and Tuttle are playing. Have you ever played it?

I wasn’t really trying to make a big political point, though one could be made. I just thought “Surveillance State” sounds like a college.

This strip is my annual tribute to one of the greatest cartoonists of all time, Walt Kelly. The tip-off is what Tuttle’s doing.

I once drew a really good illustration for a friend’s Sunday School lesson on that verse in the first panel. The dog didn’t look like Phydeaux.

When watching the original (real) “Magnum P.I.” my wife was always careful to assure me that she never went in for those big, handsome guys.

When first told this joke as a kid, I didn’t get it either. We apparently didn’t use “pass” in any context other than football around my house.

I love that he’s got a stopwatch in hand. Who still uses stopwatches?!?

This just came to me one day while installing a new showerhead. It wouldn’t go away until I drew it.
