This was two decades before Dr. James Andrews made his wealth as a knee, elbow and shoulder surgeon for just about any professional athlete, especially baseball players.
Well you got to admire the skill of the knee surgeons in the game of European football, also known as soccer. A player receiving a knee injury writhes around on the ground in pain, and needs to be carried off the field on a stretcher. Two to three minutes later he is substituted back into the game, no sign of the worst for wear.
OK, all you wanna be sport players, listen up! You chose a profession that can kill your knees, just know that the surgeon vultures are waiting for you. They are counting on you to crash and burn, so get out there and play your hearts out!

Linus has moved up from wanting to be “the humble old country doctor” of yesteryear.

My daughter has toyed with the idea of being a NASCAR statistician. Heck; she’s doing it now, for fun.

Since this strip is from 1974, I wonder if this is a reference to NY Jets quarterback Joe Namath, who was plagued with knee injuries.

There is definite money in sports medicine and it usually gets busier after the holidays when you need your money most….

Mrs. Baker makes money that way. A surprising amount of money.

Linus was ahead of his time. He was certainly the smartest character in the strip.
