SNERK!!

Rad … yeah, I was also thinking the all-knight trauma center…But though the snail is nocturnal, and somewhat armored, he seems a bit slimy for a knight.

Hi Marg - you sneaked in while I was typing…

No wonder.

The knight is reading SkyRim News….SkyRim is an online multi-player game…Googling away here….(see what I do for you guys?)It has some armored types and a slug-like race…but the pictures I found don’t look like these two….anybody??

Beviek — I think Dogsniff was just making a (nice, Dog!) joke about the knee, not the whole gestalt here…Actually a snail would feel at home in my doctor’s waiting (and waiting and waiting) room.

Maybe the knight kneeds Armor All!

Thanks treblemaker….at least I was on the right path!But what about the snail… Is it just a coincidence that the SkyRim character came to the same hospital?

Nothing is really a coincidence, or random, in a drawing, unlike reality.

SusanSunshine, I can see you have a career in Art Criticism.

Yeah? Well I’ve been feeling a bit peckish…..escargo, anyone?

The guard has nothing to do with the snail joke, It’s just an extra laugh for those (like me) who play Skyrim.

Doctor to patient: Next time be careful or it might end up being your calf tendon Achilles.

Next stop – the Post Office – to pick up his mail.

ha ha ha

ha! the stormcloak in the back ground is almost funnier than the joke!

treblemaker, thank you. As a substitute teacher, I am so gonna use that. “I used to give bathroom passes….until I took an arrow to the knee..”

susan, I’ll be your coincidence, if you’ll be my random…..

Blush…..

“I used to be an adventurer like you…. "

The SkyRim reference is definitely generational – all my husband and I could come up with was a reference to the Knights Who Say Ni!

Love the Skyrim reference. The guards in the game frequently say they were adventurers until they took an arrow to the knee.
