    Your wife knows you well, and she’ll be pleased. She glad to be married to a surgeon who believes in accuracy.

    I am sure that Bob the Surgeon can afford to give his wife a VERY nice Valentine’s Day gift.

    Not that accurate…the heart shape is two hearts fused toagather…in love. Makes since when you think about it….not the shape but that love means having your heart ripped out of your chest

    Bob’s wife is an Aztec high priestess. She’ll very much appreciate the card. And the gift that comes with it!

    If I were Surgeon Bob, I would start to worry. Anything named Bob doesn’t have a long life span in this strip.

    Considering Bob’s line of work, I certainly hope he’s big on accuracy.

    Great day for punsters. All this is kind of related to an arc in “Baby Blues,” in which Hammie will be featured in his school play on “Food: The Amazing Journey” as a . . . colon. See http://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/fun/Baby_Blues/2013-02-11/

    to the present.

    Interesting how doctors in this strip are always shown wearing their scrubs. He’s going to have to put fresh ones on when he goes back into the OR.@Sisyphos: No, I would not want a PBS surgeon named Bob operating on me. I wonder if he’s related to the surgeon (from an early strip) who amputated the wrong leg?
