Close to Home by John McPherson for March 01, 2021

No, there’s one from the Mayo Clinic…eh… no wait…never mind.

Put your clothes on, and get the hell out of there!!!!

There’s a new alien dude. I’ve never seen the one eyed purple guy.

Must be a urologist…

Purse snatching, Bleeb?

Pride of all the victories won in those hard fought eating contests. The same spirit that will take care of that fungus or whatever it is growing under your shirt, Sir.

This physician is a real hot dog.

Sounds like this guy is a real wiener.

Makes me wonder if his nurse is a sauerkraut.

The doc answers to “a higher authority”.

Rand Paul’s office?!

Not to worry those wrappers are all Hebrew National, got to be a good doctor.

Well he’s a hot dog of a doctor!

Love those exam tables with the tissue paper tops. So comfortable and noisy.

Appears that Bleeb is playing a game of “First I Look at the Purse”

Let’s just hope he isn’t a proctologist…

So, apparently, he is at the proctologist’s office.

“Doctor Mayer… Doctor Oscar Mayer… please report to exam room three!”

(Hmmm, maybe those ARE actually diplomas after all!)

PS: Well, Argor has made an appearance, just like T̶h̶e̶ T̶o̶o̶n̶e̶r̶a̶t̶o̶r̶…T̶h̶e̶ T̶o̶o̶m̶i̶n̶a̶t̶o̶r̶… McPherson said he would… only I’m wondering if he is supposed to be jailhouse gray or did they just forget to colorize him Bart Simpson yellow?

Bleeb’s color looks a bit off. Maybe that’s why he’s at the doctor’s office. Or perhaps Argor scared him so badly it affected him physically.

there is a Hungarian Hot Dog restaurant in our town that has celebrities, politicians, sport heroes, sign a hot dog bun when they come to the restaurant and then they put it up on the wall in a case. Jamie Farr, Dean Martin, Burt Reynolds, Jack Nicholas, Tracy Chapman, Gloria Steinem, Paul Newman, Hale Berry, are some of the famous signers.

But they’re gold medal winning hot dogs!

They must be at the urologist’s office.

We have a wiener.

He’s a collector on the side, that’s his trophy case.

Must’ve been some hot dog eating contest

That’s probably OK, Barry’s gut looks to be filled with hot dogs!

Good news! My real actual newspaper has re-added this strip after a number of years. Or at least I think it was re-added. I do know I had to change which newspaper I read it in twice, and then COVID-19 meant reading these online since the newspapers would be harder to look at.

February 16 from the Creator John McPherson the following:

“The Tooninator CREATOR 13 days agoHi folks! I’m sure many of you spotted a new alien among the cast of tiny aliens! He is a cyclops monster named Argor. He after anyone he can get his hands on, including Dalcon! But he is very furtive, so you may not spot him very often.”

Can he cut the mustard?

Thankfully I never SAUSAGE an office before! :>)

I see Cyclopian ARGOR but the other does appear to have an eye patch, leading me to believe this is not Bleeb but Dalcon, scourge of the planet Z. :>) (Patsnozzle- AKA Sir Bleeb-a-lot!)
