A single panel. A patient (a smiling man pressing a hand to the side of his head) says, "Wow, I don't feel all that different." Beside him, an angry doctor wearing a head mirror and a mustache snaps back, "What the hell would you know?! You were under anaesthesia the whole time! I saw it! Shutup!" Caption beneath: "Trade secret: There is no such thing as neurosurgery." The joke is that the doctor never actually did any brain surgery and is defensively insisting the patient can't possibly know better. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn note reading, "The inside of the head is mostly jus hair."
