MDLinx Comic Consult #13

The MDLinx Comic Consult is a caption contest open only to doctors with a sense of humor. Prizes are a $100 Amazon gift card for first place, and $50 gift cards for up to four runners up. I won a $50 gift card for contest #12 and immediately spent it, so I'm fired up. This is contest #13 and it features a physician exercising questionable judgment. Five entries are permitted; each of mine is shown below. The cartoon is by Jonny Hawkins.

"Now I'm going to check your reaction time."
"There's nothing to worry about. I hardly ever miss."
"Don't move. My malpractice insurance is riding on this."
"There. That's everything but the informed consent."
"Are you sure you wouldn't rather have a prostate exam?"

Garrett Price: Broken Bow and Arrows

It is now time to return those gifts that didn't quite work out. Bookseller James Cummins has a four-panel cartoon by Garrett Price that sums it all up pretty well. The listing states that this cartoon was "probably done for The New Yorker." Surely we can do better than that.

Note: To be truthful, this is one of the few blogs on which Garrett Price merits much discussion. Don't blame me; blame all those other blogs with nothing to say. You know the drill: Attempted Bloggery seeks high-quality scans or photographs of original cartoon art by Garrett Price, including rejected cover proposals and whatever else might happen to come your way. Please also send me examples of extremely scarce or uncollected published work.
