Panel 3: “Um, after you shoot a bunch of holes in it, maybe not.”

Nothing on either wall behind the doctor in p1, and something that looks like a chimpanzee skull in p3.

Good point about the chimp skull…or it’s a Marty Moon re-creation.

He’s so fine.

He plays football? For Milford? I’ve heard loofah rumors, perhaps I’ve been examining the wrong area.

I’ve got a lot of money riding on this kid and if you won’t support me I’ll shop for a Doctor who will.

P1, You’re right, Uncle Tonoose, he’d be even better if you weren’t around.

P2, And you’re pretending to be a parent, but that’s not important right now.

P3, Look. Tonoose, I’ve got big bucks on Milford this Friday and this kid is playing, period. Now get out of my office!

Chew him up & spit him out lady

In all reality , The Doctor is in Central City ,anyone see a rat here ? Did she lie about the True findings of the concussion test ? Will she bet heavily against Milford ? Inquiring minds want to know !

Oooh, a smart-aleck doctor, I like her.

For the love of God, could somebody break Del Bader out of prison so he can run over the clown uncle?

The moustache free Dr. Joanne Gerstner. My new favorite physician in The Valley. Sorry, no offense Dr. Lamb. Dr. Gerstner is wise to Gary Unmarried’s skullduggery.

Unleash that radioactive container from P1 on uncle Creepy, Dr. Diane Sawyer.

A stupid uncle……fake concussions…..a HS football season that will never end…..a kid who sings….snore……wake me when this ends

P-1: You don’t have a concussion but you now have Olive Oyl’s nose.

P1- today Rick looking a bit like PGA star, yokel Bubba Watson…

He’s not in the NFL

The jaw bone is connected to the skull bone.

You tell him doc. Rick needs to tell Uncle P-I-A to take a walk.

Mom needs to grow a pair and tell “Uncle” to go away. She can raise her own son. Maybe “Uncle” is his daddy.

It seems like there are the same complaints about the plots (and art) every year, and yet you all seem to come back year after year. I wonder why that is? I’ve been following the strip since at least the eighties, well before GoComics was even thought of. Neal and Rod have my support!

Geez…this strip looks like it could be a beach ball lobbed over the plate for MUT

What is he looking for? A doctor who will prohibit the kid from playing football for no personal medical reason? He accepts the no concussion, but then keeps bringing up the NFL study. Why even take the kid for an exam?

This storyline is running pretty long. High school football was done here a little over a month ago. We have basketball well underway now.

Been waiting all day for someone to mention Dr. Fine.

…wonder if Gerstner is a member of Milford CC. Not sure if Milford CC has embraced diversity with Doc Gattuso and Wildcat Maris still on the board…

My guess is Unc gives Rick “vitamins” that makes him feel like he has a concussion, or for a quicker result, hit him in the head with a bat

My guess is Dad will be flying home to tell off his brother in law
