Monty by Jim Meddick for January 04, 2015

That’s not unprofessional incompetence, it’s “denialism-enhanced butthurt-soothing techniques.”

gets popcorn, waits for all the ‘baggettes to storm the comments shrieking and bellowing about how they’ll never read the strip again, again, because they’ve just now abruptly realized it isn’t Mallard Fillmore

Well, looks like you have lost a patient and received a citation from your state dental association for ethics violations and unprofessional practices. Not to mention reinforced ALL suspected negative stereotypes of dentists.

Talking to the dentist while you’re having work done? Yeah, right …

@ MH: Or torture?

Excellent choice of sweat shirts, Monty. ’Cause I have a feeling you will be sweating!

Is it safe?

Worse, the dentist used to be a drill sergeant.

When I was young and just a bad little kidMy momma noticed funny things I didLike shootin’ puppies with a BB gun

I’d poison guppies, and when I was doneI’d find a pussy cat and bash its headThat’s when my momma said

(What did she say?)She said “My boy, I think somedayYou’ll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay”

You’ll be a dentist(Be a dentist)You have a talent for causing things pain(Pain)Son, be a dentist(Son, be a dentist)People will pay you to be inhumane(Inhumane)

I know that dentist, didn’t believe in pain killers, makes you stronger … if you have to go to war or marry

Well dentists are part of the “system” as well so it’s no surprise they wouldn’t believe in any common sense, outside of the box conversation :)

Dick Cheney, D.D.S.!

No problem with my dentist….He practices “painless dentistry”!

My dentist and I have a system. I get extra drugs BEFORE the needle. And … if any trouble – Tap Out. Haven’t had to Tap Him Out. But did have to have a little talk with the assistant when he stepped out. Explain that she was too rough. Now when I saw the chairs – I thought barbers – and they do the ‘bad hair’ cut. So Monty is lucky. No one will see his pain.

Did anyone read Pastis’s Pearls Before Swine? It shows up in my emailed comics immediately after Monty. Give “Pisa” chants." :) Love it when a couple cartoonists do that on the same day!
