The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 22, 2022

Had to think about it for a couple minutes. Gave it a like

I’masking if there is a cure?

I’ve had tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow even though I don’t play either.

It gotcha coming and going, eh?

Lucha libre variant, right?

That is such a bad pun. So I love it, of course!

Nothing funny about it if you have it.

I never experienced restless leg syndrome until I was in my 50’s. During months of prescribed inactivity while I was recovering from a very small stroke, I began to be afflicted by it when I was lying down. I couldn’t get to sleep because of it. Ultimately, ice packs were needed to calm the muscles down so I could go to bed. I wouldn’t call it painful so much as really frustrating and annoying. It has recurred from time to time ever since, but it has never again gotten to the point of ice packs.

Glad you were able to “pin” that down Doc, and I will “hold” you to that diagnosis!

Is that x-ray Ted?

A thorough checkup also revealed his weight loss and having runs at night were due to wrestler’s bowel syndrome.

The big problem with wrestler’s leg syndrome is finding pants that fit. I have it too (and it probably doesn’t help that I’m very short).

How often do they lock up into the scissor formation?

“Take two folding chairs from the top rope and call me in the morning.”

Today’s strip reminds me of the phenomenal wrestler Big Van Vader. R.I.P. Leon White

A few pins should cure it.

A couple of body slams and you’ll be as good as new.

Another made up ailment like “swimmer’s ear”, “tennis elbow”, and “fluffer’s TMJ”.

Thanks for kicking off this conversation Hillburn. Could you do a panel on irritable bowel syndrome next week?
