This is a highly gendered cartoon. Most women (who are not mothers of boys) will not get it. Being a guy, it makes me shudder and wonder how I ever survived childhood.
Just musing here. I wonder what the quality of health care would be in America if we taxed incomes above $1,000,000 at 50%. (For those who skipped American history in high school, that’s 40 percentage points lower than it was under Eisenhower.)
I generally stayed out of the “Dare” wards, but a triple dog dare is almost impossible to decline. I mean really, when somebody pulls your punk card, you gotta do something.
I live and work for a large midwestern world famous medical center. They process a lot of patients with casts and splints through what they call “The cast room” and is what you would expect: a big room, all kinds of stuff for putting on and removing casts. I (middle aged guy) was in there getting a cast changed, and on another table was a little kid, maybe 4 years old. 110% “all boy” with all the signs of a little kid who is not afraid of anything: Cuts, scrapes, bruises, etc and that day, a broken arm. Well he was getting a cast removed and when all the fanfare was done, and he proudly left with the shell of is former cast, one of the nurses looks at the other one and says,
Trump now thinks his Covid case is a “gift from God”. Have you ever taken oral steroids? They make you feel so good you’re not fit to run an automobile, much less a country. He’s basically on a “triple-dare” scheme of experimental drugs.
Just to be clear for the little kiddies out there: Challenge = Dare.
The only difference is by calling it a Challenge instead of a Dare it is easier to sucker kids and sometimes adults into doing really stupid things. Like eating Tide Pods and such. Most people know dares are usually something with a consequence that the smart thing to do, is not do it.

Is this about how masked up you have to be to go to each of those wards? Or is “DARE” some acronym?

Growing up, those emergency room visits usually happened about the week before school started.
I would have made it through the summer totally unscathed and unscabbed, but, much to my mother’s dismay, just as summer vacation was ending …
