The cure is worse than the disease.

… is that it’s a suppository.

Um. Anyone else reading the strip this week flashing on the trailer for “Big Hero 6?”

With balloon people, you have to stick on the bandage before giving the injection.

Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

Deflation caused by the administration of the cure is like putting the cart in front of the horse.

All this looks very phallic to me . . . in which case deflation could be a serious problem.

That will surely reduce the swelling . . . ⚉

How exactly is it a cure?

“On the plus side, you’re last one will be… explosive!”

Shouldn’t that needle be on the end of a bicycle pump?

Sort of how I used to wonder how hemophiliacs could be treated with injections.

Seems to me the more logical cure would be an air pump with the nozzle placed in any convenient orifice.
