apparently it’s one of the gates to Wonderland

maybe he had too much iron in his blood and he is stuck in the top of the tube?

M R I – “Missing Right Inside”

2000 X (eXperimental)

I guess it’ll be near death experiences all week in this strip?

Beam me up, Scotty!

OH NO! … Morlocks!

Ugh…I can’t be in one. I get claustrophobic in it.

MRI 2000X: “You can call me ‘Hal’.”

Gosh, what time do you folks who have commented wake up?

He was sucked into the wormhole.

I’m always afraid I’ll be forgotten in the MRI, especially when they put the cage on your head.

There is room for more than one in there?

Scanned and uploaded to the internet.

Is that the Time Tunnel?

Hi, Bleeb! I see that you are ready to move into an excellent observational position. Yesterday under the table at the diner and now this. It’s nice to see you back on top of your game after last week’s rough patch.

Time Tunnel Mk II. Moore’s Law really made a difference.

No need to worry about Bleeb…he’s on top of things!

Serious comment of the day for me. I’m claustrophobic and can’t go in one of those unless I’m unconscious. Once drove for 30 miles to visit a medical center with an “open” MRI Machine.

I’ve been in so many of those that I started scratching my initials in side. Pro Tip: Bring your own earplugs.

Wait, Furtz things first!! Where did Alan go?

They scanned my brain. They didn’t find anything.

Time travel?

The author?

Ah Nurse, can I have my clothes back?

The hospital should have gone with the 3000

He got zapped into oblivion.

I took this over to the Radiology Department at the Hospital I work at. They about died laughing.

That’s why everybody should not leave for lunch. I wonder how far he got in his little hospital gown.

Call a technician, that machine is on the Furtz.

Date format is illogical

Run. Now. While you still can.

I got Buella, she’s the least glitchy. (Avatar 2009);-p
