    Excellent. The janitor who helped Opus on Father’s Day. This guy is better than penicillin.

    And as anyone who works in a hospital knows, the cleaners, porters and so on are most definitely unsung heroes.

    I copied the image, and put it into Preview on my Mac, and upped the exposure. The details are wonderful. Almost as wonderful as the sentiment.

    Look not to the powerful on this earth for comfort, but to the humble.

    It may look like Opus was unable to complete his mission, but…

    Frank doesn’t work at the hospital. Frank works at a different urgent care firm.

    The hospital doesn’t allow animals. Sam needed urgent care. And Opus knew where to get it.

    And the Dragoncat Award for Best Picture goes to Berkeley Breathed! Fantabulously done!

    I may be a Marvel fan, but this fellow is a true hero. With Honourable Mention going to Opus and Friends.

    An excellent piece of art and a very touching, poignant sentiment that it expresses!

    Frank is providing care and company for Sam the Lion, at possible risk of his job (for interrupting rather than completing his rounds). Opus sees this.

    And I see it better by having goosed up the Zoom on my iMac by 2 notches. At that point with most images I am starting to see pixellation, but BB’s masterpiece here is reallly high resolution and seems just as sharp magnified as at Actual Size (as my menu calls it). More details can be discerned, such as the way Sam the Lion clutches Frank’s right pinky finger….

    Go back to yesterday and look at what BB did to decorate the title in the top frame. The two days of strips should be posted in every hospital with the words “Let’s give them whatever they need”.

    Late to the party, but for those of you who remember, there is a touch of Norman Rockwell here. The conveyance of so many thoughts and emotions with an artistic image. The thoughtfulness, selflessness and heroism from the night janitor just plain doing the right thing. THAT is what will “Make America Great Again”.
