Lost my sister, grandmother, and mother-in-law to cancer. Mr. Parisi, you really lost your way today. Where were the “comic censors” or your manager to help you before you made such a huge mistake?
The strip isn’t very funny, but the comments by the offensively offended are sort of amusing. Come on. Surely there’s SOMEONE out there who’s father died of cancer and always wore the same green sweater. .(And let’s here from some offended canker sufferers.)
Actually,most doctors have atrocious hand-writing skills. When I apprenticed for s job as ward clerk for my hospital. I had to take a special course to learn how to decipher our doctors’ handwriting. I think that is positively sinful. I can’t help wondering how many people have died due to some doctor’s careless script. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Joe Soucheray in today’s Pioneer Press editorializing on the current air quality in Minnesota:
In other words, it seems the fate of our health is just as dependent on the air quality in Cincinnati or Detroit as it is here, or, more accurately, the ability of the people in Cincinnati and Detroit to withstand air pollution.
How do we know we don’t withstand it better than they do?My late uncle, a longtime city doctor and then a longtime country doctor, was often entertained by such statistical conjuring.
"Don’t forget,‘’ he would say, "anyone who dies from a heart attack has at some point in their life worn leather-soled shoes.’’

This isn’t funny at all if you’ve lost a family member to cancer.

somebody changed the first letter to a W…?
So he meant to write “wancer”? I thought that was when Elmer Fudd purchases a Dodge…
