A two-panel comic. In the main panel, a bald patient clutches his chest and shouts to his doctor, "DOC! I'M HAVIN' THESE REALLY BAD -ERK- CHEST PAINS!" The doctor, wearing a head mirror and round glasses and holding a clipboard, replies flatly, "WOW. CHEST PAINS. THAT'S REAL ORIGINAL." Below, a close-up of the doctor's clipboard shows him grading the patient like an art critic: CREATIVITY 2, WEEKS TO LIVE 1, STYLE 6.5. In the votey aftercomic, a hand-drawn close-up of the doctor's deadpan face says, "Being a doctor sucks. It's nothing like on TV!"
