Looks like we have Bleen and Dalcon both in the dentist office today. Checking out the dentists unorthodox relaxation therapy.

Now that is my kind of dentist, sign me up!

Except for one minor detail, is that Dalcon lurking along with Bleeb? He probably thinks this is some form of human torture chamber. (he might be right) It would pique his curiosity.

And nothing says relaxation like combining water and electricity.

What’s the point of the spit bowl?

Anyways they don’t have them anymore, they now have Mr. Thirsty (suction straw)

Just don’t fill the wrong cavity, Doc.

I can think of at least three reasons why that setup is a bad idea.

Worth a try. Nothing dentured, nothing gained.

(Go ahead and groan. I stole that gag from an old Smoky Stover comic strip.)

Great idea. Makes spitting a lot easier.

Got the bubbly for the body now just need the bubbly for the mouth

Where are the masks and bathing caps?

Is having Bleeb and Dalcon today designed to make up for being Bleeb-less yesterday?

Crime show watching tip: if one of the people involved is a left handed dentist, they did it!

In the interest of full disclosure, I rescind my recommendation to try recipes from cartoons, because they’re NOT as easy as they look… and they left me craving Road-Runner-Burgers that just wasn’t gonna happen!

Also, it made me want other cool stuff… but it appears Amazon doesn’t sell ACME ROCKET-POWERED ROLLER SKATES!

…nuthin’ but disappointment!

…by the way, or BTW to you texters out there… welcome back to Bleeb and Dalcon.

Think about: 1. two alien-bugs crawling all over the dental instruments that are about to go into your mouth, 2. while you’re sitting with a shirtless dentist and his assistant, 3. in what is basically a bowl of human soup!

Now go make your next dentist appointment! Bwaa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

A half-naked dentist hovering over me would not relax me.

Worst of all, he calls it his Root Canal…

Uh, where would you spit?

Where the hell is my massage?!! I can’t relax at the dentist until I have an after hot tub massage.

Horrible Bosses III?

He is really going to be in hot water if it goes any further.

ewwwwwwwww! now i can’t get the pic of my dentist and i in the hot tub with his assistant.

Looks like the Dentist is little too relaxed.

One thing for sure, the characters in this strip could sure use a good orthodontist.

‘A Close 1 is only a MInnesota goalie who isn’t Eric the Circle’. – Here’s some Old Milwaukee trivia: Did you know that ub Hebrew ‘Labatt’ לבת means immoral and wicked and Coors means ‘a serpent’s belly’? I recall seeing LaBatt’s commercials that were similar to this concocted sketch. Choosy beer drinkers drink ‘Sidelaunch, Panst in a bottle or ’Iron City’.

I’m not sure I’d be comfortable sharing a hottub with my dentist and lab tech.

Does he take insurance?

That would not make me feel comfortable.

Tanning bed next.

I’ll go for that!
