Cogito Ergo Ego
I have great admiration for dentists and psychologists, the former because they can endure having their hands inside people's mouths all day long, the latter because they've committed themselves to the hell of having to get inside people's entire heads. It must be a little like spending your whole professional life at the most boring cocktail party imaginable, and given how boring cocktail parties are, that's pretty darned boring. Actually it's way worse than just attending a boring cocktail party, it's like being forced to do nothing but listen, without being permitted an occasional sly dig. A famous writer, who was also a notorious drunk, once said, "I don't drink at parties so that I'll be more interesting, I drink so other people will be more interesting."

A dentist friend was asked why he chose dentistry... his reply was... because it's way better than having to deal with the other end! :-D
Great cartoon tonight, John C. One line seems to flow into the other so smoothly. Learning something new about composition each day from you.Expression on woman's face (Is that Jeremy's mother in her old age? [grin])is great.
Jean, had a good chuckle from your remark about your friend.
Lee, the implication that Jeremy might drive his mother to the couch is not innacurate.
