The New Health Plan?

scene from Adventure Comics #280

There are days when a gorilla practicing medicine makes as much sense as anything else.

  1. Yes, that’s all well and good, but I’m surprised at you, Doctor Scott! You forgot to mention that he’s actually wearing that stupid mirror thing more-or-less properly! That’s got to be worth points too, surely!

  2. Those were the days, when a gentleman could wear a purple suit with matching bowler!

  3. Slightly OT, but this post seens as good a place as any…What’s House going to do if the FDA bans Vicodin?

  4. For all you ape fans, here’s a website devoted to Gorilla sightings in comics:

  5. Well damned if that isn’t the gravest looking gorilla ever! I think he must have studied under Dr. Alan Rumack

  6. So the gorilla has time to change his clothes and put on a head mirror, but he can’t take five seconds to say: ‘Trust me, I am Congo Bill’?

  7. Jon:

    Congorilla can’t speak.

    I don’t know he would NORMALLY “explain” stuff to Janu, but if it’s Koko-style sign language, yeah, that would take a while — and he’d have to use his hands to SAY it, instead of getting the digitalis out of the bag.

  8. Technically, its a human mind in a gorilla’s body. Its really for the best you try not to make sense of it.

  9. Well, he could write it down… But I’m confused. If he can’t speak then why does Janu say “You must tell me why you switch…’ Apart from plot exposition, that is?

    Anyway, I’m glad to see that he doesn’t attempt to give the digitalis BEFORE putting on the white coat. That would not be the done thing at all…
