My uncle would probably do something like that. He lost his legs in Vietnam – one to the knee & one all the way – and prosthetics were too uncomfortable. When I was a hostess at a restaurant, he & his wife would come in & I would seat them. I would sit in the empty spot in his chair and point the directions. People would look at us aghast.
When I read this strip the first time (MANY years ago), I was young and fairly healthy – and I was “GO FOR IT, Cutter John!”
Now I am a bit older, a bit wiser, and permanently disabled due to vertigo and arthritis, and, as I tool around the neighborhood with my rollator (wheeled walker with brakes), I want to be like Cutter John.
My insurance company, when they replaced my 10yo rollator, provided me one with tiny plastic wheels rather than the go-anywhere rubber wheels I wanted. They told me it was because I was to only use it indoors, and I shouldn’t be walking around outside – I could fall and get hurt! So I bump along with plastic wheels, and they don’t need to know.

I’ve always loved the Cutter John/Star Trek strips. Still gives me great joy after all these years.

Scoop up Bill the Cat & see if he’ll hack a hairball into the Klingon’s mouth.

He looks like a hood ornament.

He’s lucky he didn’t end up as road kill!

Can someone help me find the strip when Opus calls 911 because there is a fat lady pruning her azaleas in pea soup green hot pants?
