Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for April 29, 2021

Obviously derived from C. S. Lewis’ The Abolition of Man, Part 1, “Men Without Chests.”

His torso tore so more so.

Is this kind of comic strip how this strip got it’s name?

He’s basically ahead now..

… or is “Mr. Cosgrove” the donor?

I like that the IV isn’t hooked up as there’s no place to put it.

They’re all heart!

At least, we’ve found a donor for the arms. We’re still scrounging around for a usable torso.

Truncated?

Possibly a former ‘volunteer from the audience’ at a magic show?

On the news a while back, they were talking about the possibility of a “head transplant”. ‘Cept it’d be a body transplant.

This may be where “Loose Parts” got its name.

He could have simply gone to the Torso Emporium…

Continue on, or do you still have cold feet?

Try the Community Chest.

Funnier than that Pixar movie.

So what happened to the donor that he only has a torso left?

I don’t like Causgrove. The man’s heartless.

Looks like he’s got a good head on his… Oh.

Anybody I know?

the bluetooth connection seems to be working

If you can keep your head, when those about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you….

He may be here, but he’s not all there…

I need to get something off my chest. Oh never mind.

This doesn’t make sense. No one wears pants and shoes in a hospital bed.

If he’s supposed to be alive, then I can only assume that he’s part invisible man, in which case all he needs is a donation of a shirt and gloves.

What some people wont do to lose weight!
