Transcript:
Earl and Edna Play Doctor Edna: Did you schedule an appointment for your cardiology checkup? Earl: No...I've decided to go with an alternative method. Edna: What...you mean like holistic? Earl: Uh...something like that... I got to thinking how the heart is a pump, and the rest is like a pipe system that needs to be kept from clogging. Edna: Um...ok...so? Earl: So Larry is gonna check it out. Edna: Wait...Larry? The plumber?! Earl: Oh, he's more than that... ...He's the very, very best plumber who'll make my heart great again!! Edna: ...And America's lead in its race to the bottom just got extended...

Yes it does, yes indeed. Not too distant from that Homeopathy garbage.

For what they charge today, this may come out more costly than the doctor.

And, well, an angiogram is just like running a small snake, right?

I’ve wondered this many times.
Turning to a presidential candidate with no experience who claims he knows how to fix things is like stopping on the way into the operating room,
and switching from an experienced cardio surgeon to a guy who runs a pizza chain,
because the pizza guy promises he can do the job just as well, and without the ’establishment’ complicating matters.
The pizza guy survives to say, "Well, I’ll be darned. It was tougher than I thought. But the guy on the table… well…

Plumbing new depths.

This should actually work out well, considering that his regular doctor was a guy named Jack Kevorkian, who believed that a managed decline was the best course of treatment.

Politicians really should stop using real people as examples, since they allways end up bitng you.

Hey don’t knock it, Larry the Plumber knows his stuff.
Remember there are two rules a plumber must know:1. Sh!t goes down hill, and2. Payday is on Friday.

My doctors keep telling me my blood pressure is too high. I keep suggesting that they prescribe me leeches. Closed system filled with fluid, take some of the fluid out, pressure goes down. Simple hydraulics, right? So far not one of them has taken me seriously. (And my father was a plumber, so I know at least a little about this stuff.)

If he would have had “Donald the plumber”, today’s strip would have been a perfect statement

Let me guess, he’s a Republican. Roto-rooter of both your brain and your heart, might help you to be great again.

“You’re a liberal piece of crap Wiley! But so is all liberals.”
Congratulations! Your illiteracy and abysmal grammar pretty much validates the point of the cartoon regarding Trump supporters.
Here’s a tip…look up the word, “liberal” in the dictionary. You obviously don’t know the definition, given how you use it as a pejorative.

stay away from politics. Your comic strips are much better when you do.

Well it’s not that simple. First he has to go to an apprentice plumber and pay for an evaluation, Only then can he get a referral to Larry the specialist plumber. That is assuming of course that the HOA decides that Earl really needs a visit from the best plumber or if they feel he can fix things himself with a generic pipe cleaning kit from Home Depot

Let me guess, you think America is great now after eight years of Obama(Someone less qualified not only in business but politics as well, supposedly a constitutional expert who has had one executive decision after another overturned) and more of the same under Clinton, a clearly unindicted felon, would be great or better? Someone whose only claim to success after thirty years in politics is lining her families pockets with foreign donations while messing up Lybia(They were broke she remarked, when her former president husband and she left the white house. HA) ,and getting four people killed, including an ambassador who had repeatedly asked for more security. That’s a better choice?! Your imagination is not limited to cartoons. And is beyond imagination to delusional!

It’s a carToon! What about it set you off to call Wiley a , what you called her?You are apparently are following the crap that is being fed to us that we are in 2 camps and we are each other’s enemy, depending on what views we hold.Don’t you realize it is the pushers of “play we are all enemies” that are our real enemies?Those .01% who don’t like any of us and think we are all worthless peons?I don’t see what it is that made you think of “liberals” unless you just use any thing to put hate on liberals, whether it is partisan or not.By the way, It is Not “so is all liberals” , the proper way to say that is “so ARE all liberals”As in all liberals Are in favor of peace"Not saying that is any truer than “all liberals want to give up guns” which is Not true, because I know a lot of liberals who say " you will have to take my gun from my cold dead hands" or whatever the exact phrase would be.I would be saying this if you had said “so is all conservatives”
