Modern Medicine Blows It Again

My name is Matthew Kessen, webcartoonist of webcartoonists; look on my works, ye mighty, and despair! The above is an example of what happens when I wait until the very last possible second to even so much as come up with a basic idea for the week’s cartoon. This is not a value judgment. Necessarily.
Actually, I had the idea for the first panel well over a year ago, after a hospital stay. I have a piece of paper with six or eight one-line ideas culled specifically from that experience. I once considered doing a two-month “Vincent Macropod Goes to the Hospital” epic, but ultimately discarded the idea, based on the fact that it was not very good. Still and all, the hospital gags may well come trickling out, over time. What, after all, could be zanier?
Fun fact: Pterosaurs were covered in fur. True! Hence the depiction here.

Heh, I really like this one actually.

I love how the hospital has a sign on it that says “a hospital.” That’s why I’m not a doctor.
