National Doctors' Day: Joe Zeis in the Exam Room

Today is National Doctors' Day in the US. In order to honor physicians for their selfless dedication, Dick Buchanan offers up a 1957 gag from his clip files by cartoonist Joe Zeis:

"Those X rays of yours are in here somewhere."

The Saturday Evening Post, June 15, 1957

Note:  My thanks to Dick Buchanan for nurturing my appreciation of doctors in this special way. Dick, of course, is the custodian of the renowned Dick Buchanan Cartoon Clip Files and a regular contributor to Mike Lynch Cartoons, most recently a post entitled  "From the Dick Buchanan Files: The Search for Happiness Part Three: Marriage 1946 - 1964." Better check it out before you make any lifelong commitments.

The subject of perceived avarice in doctors with too much green on their hands has been visited here before. See, for example, Attempted Bloggery's most recent post (yes, there's more than one) about the notorious wrong bag cartoon.
