Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 19, 2013

There’s an old Bugs Bunny cartoon: he accidentally gets drafted and a doctor gives him an eye test. Told to read the bottom line, Bugs reads the copyright notice underneath. The doctor has to get out a magnifying glass to confirm that Bugs is right.

Giving free medical to space cavemen and other aliens? That’s what we get for enacting Obamacare!

Superman (Clark Kent) flunked his Army physical when he was drafted. He accidentally used his Xray vision to read the eyechart in the next room…

An old Dr Smock comic from some 40 years ago had the good doctor giving an eye exam to a sailor….

the chart read

AYEAYE AYEAYE AYE AYEAYE AYE AYE AYE

AYE AYE AYE AYE AYE

Cronk needs a chiropractor as well.

Use’ta be a boxer out of the Kronk gym named Caveman Lee.

Eye bet Bucky will score off the chart . . . ☻

also a version in Space Cowboys, with Tommy Lee Jones.

There should be a cave spaceman.

If I recall the joke, she rants at him “I’m not illiterate, I was born in this country!”

I saw a cartoon just the other day where the eye doctor is so surprised that everyone is correctly reading his eye chart.The chart reads:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

“They did the same thing in a Superman comic during the 1950s”…As I recall, Clark Kent actually read the eye chart in the next room, so Clark was rejected because he was wrong on just about every letter. :-)

That’s right – I’ve got that story in one of my collections. Superman got real nasty in the Silver Age books, didn’t he…

Back when my eyes were still young, I could see that all the eye charts were made by ACME. Always wondered what they’d do to the Coyote!
