A six-panel SMBC comic. A blonde woman on an exam table thanks a female doctor (head mirror, white coat) for helping out. The doctor replies, "No problem. I also went ahead and vaccinated you against death." The woman delightedly asks, "Wow! They can do that?" The doctor says "Yep" and holds up a knife. In a close-up the woman grins as the knife approaches her head. The doctor waves "Good luck!" as the woman cheers, "Wow! I can't wait to try this out!" In the last panel a bespectacled male coworker tells the doctor, "That was mean," and she answers, "So's asking your husband's ex-wife for free medical advice." Votey (a black-and-white aftercomic): the woman lies sprawled on the floor, apparently stabbed, cheerfully insisting, "It's okay! I'm immune!" The joke: the doctor took petty revenge on her ex's new wife by pretending a fatal stabbing was a vaccine.
