      I was talking with a doctor friend of mine. She told me that she had a new patient, a 75 year old man. She asked him if he had any medical problems, or took any meds. He said no. She was very impressed by his great health. Then she asked how often he saw a doctor. Hadn’t seen one in 20 years.

      If you don’t look for it, you’ll never see it.

          Gay people exist with or without being allowed to express, and health issues exist with or without being diagnosed.

          Literally my point

          If you don’t see doctors, how do you know if you’re in good health?

          High blood pressure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, colon cancer, etc are often called “silent killers”. That 75 year old is “perfectly fine” and “in great health” until he falls, breaks his hip and dies, or has a heart attack and dies.

          What going to a doctor does is open that guy’s eyes to the fact that he isn’t in as good of health as he thought he was. Just like how the world isn’t as straight as conservatives thought.

          It’s entirely possible that if he saw doctors regularly he could have lived to 95, but because he was silently in poor health at 75, he “unexpectedly” dies at 76.

    Don’t get what the last panel is interfering. The guy on the left is in a relationship with a dog? The guy in the middle has so much money he’s got an asian mail order bride? Then the people behind are cheering them both on?

    Yeah, not even two decades after the first colours got invented in '91, Fabulous Inc. had cornered the market and bought all of them. On the press event where the CEO signed the deal for the last remaining colour, Turkish Blue, a tragic accident happened.

    As he was fitting Turkish Blue into his suitcase, he formed the first-ever rainbow, which immediately started radiating violently, turning the whole event into a massive gay orgy.

    Even more tragically, though, they had brought in colour cameras to capture the Turkish Blue, and so, everyone who was watching at home, got directly exposed to the rainbow colours, too.
    Loving husbands, grandpas, child sons, they all got turned into gay people.

    Only upside is that we also got lesbians out of this.

    So everyone is happy and has a huge wad of cash just falling out of their pockets? Sounds good to me.
