Overkill

More than once, I’ve pointed out when a penciler takes a little artistic license and draws extraneous IV lines, tubes, and wires in hospital scenes.

This cover, however, takes to a new ridiculous extreme. Exactly how many tubes and wires does John Lynch need?

  1. Scott,

    What’s your take on all the new medical themed TV series that have debuted recently?

    Any thoughts on Nurse Jackie, HawthoRNe or Royal Pains?

    Thanks!

  2. I hope that garden hose isn’t a catheter.

  3. Why does his genitalia need an aviator’s oxygen mask? Is it going somewhere the rest of him isn’t?

    Reminds me of a line from a recent episode of a television series called Harper’s Island.

    One character had just finished removing a bullet from another, the wounded one having something of a medical field education.

    “You passed out before you told me anything important, so I just kept adding stitches until you stopped bleeding.”

  4. All the fluid is going to his forearms. Those things look fit to burst.

  5. That’s not an aviator’s mask, it’s a double J catheter.

  6. I thought they had him plugged into the main power grid…

  7. I dunno… how many of those random bulges pretending to be muscles are really malignant cancers….

    …actually no, now that I look and see it appears he has a power cable hooked up to his prostate I’m not convinced he’s there for medical attention at all. I think he’s just over indulging in some weird fetishes… including being stabbed with needles.

  8. Good lord, what is that thing on his crotch? Is that a catheter?

    I need to go lie down.

  9. I think the idea of the tube going to his crotch is that it’s to transport urine away.

    I have no idea if such things actually exist though.
