I always have this picture in my mind (hopefully untrue) of the first doctor calling the second doctor and telling him what to say. Or her. Don’t want to be sexist in my calumnies.
When I first thought of this strip, the line in the first panel was the punchline. Then I came up with the line in the second panel and thought it was better. Same with the third. Finally decided that I would use all three.
I have had more questions about this strip than any other I think I have ever done. My more literal-minded friends and readers just don’t get it … and it apparently can’t be explained.
