Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for March 21, 2021

Is there a draft in here?…..

It’s not really a gown. It’s a cape for the front.

And it wasn’t a plumber.

How else are they going to stick the thermometer in you? Besides hospitals and personal dignity are mutually exclusive terms.

Talk about your backdraft!

When in the hospital leave you vanity at the door!

It’s easier to understand than “Watch your 6”. (Yes, l know)

The design for hospital gowns was borrowed from aliens (their probes and all, you know).

All the toughest questions are solved at the local tavern.

To paraphrase an old song, “Southern breezes bare strange fruit.”

Or the people who designed the clothing on “Shoe”.

It was the guy who invented the long johns with the bathroom flap in the back…

I’d have thought that was exactly who invented the phrase, having just seen his gown invention being modeled for the first time…

Say the two birds who have nothing covering their tails (but feathers).

Assless chaps inventor? Nope.

Why do they have to have those unreachable ties in the back? Why not on the side or buttons or Velcro?

I can laugh at this now — the colonoscopy was Friday!

This gag might work better in a strip where the characters don’t have their butts showing anyway.
