    I think I know where the boxing glove was hidden, and my guess is that the clown baby is the one that actuated it. I’ve been watching all of the World Cup matches, and the word vuvuzela comes to mind.

    Guys! It’s just an opinion. So what if it’s “vulgar” (a descriptive)….it’s STILL funny.

    C.A… he’s the ultimate judge. He knows what is good for all of us and tells us. All we need is to follow his lead to and through the pearly gates… Of course, he’ll tell us all how un-Biblical what I just wrote is, but then he knows all…

    Or, he’s a blowhard who lives to be a buzz kill.

    Dear Friends: Joe is a poor pitiful old man that has no life other than writing his blog on gocomics. You only encourage him with your barbs. We don’t hate you, Joe, as you have suggested, we just wish you understood humor to a greater degree. The only disparaging comment I have ever made about Joe is that he never uses a sentence when a paragraph will do. Smile, Joe, it’s the 4th of July.

    This time labor was tougher on the doctor than the mom.

    @Bangrove: That may be true, but I keep having this thought in the back of my head, wishing the doc in the cartoon is named Joe… I know, wishful thinking.

    It’s the 4th of July in Mexico, England, Poland, etc. Where isn’t it the 4th of July?

    Ah,, yes. Across the date line it’s the 5th. My bad.

    This part of a post I did at another comic, that post was scrubbed, along with others that were critical of a certain someone. Lets see how long this lasts.

    A real fan does not say That others may not play In what they think is hallowed ground If they don’t like the way they sound Who is it that gets to set the rules And chastise others as being fools To decide the moral tone To tell others to go home If you don’t like what I say Why don’t you be the one to go away Why must I bow to you With your pious, priggish view Why must you act like a sod I mean, who died and made you god? You feel yourself our superior But only prove that your inferior So to GoComics beat your feet So they may hear your plaintive bleat That others to you are being mean And boy does that make you steam I think that it is plain for all to see A real fan doesn’t sign their name … ….. “…” ….

    someone knows (or thinks he knows) vulgarity really well, it seems. it tells me more about that person and his vulgar frame of mind than anything else. this thought-policeman is alive and well.

    imo this cartoon is really really funny.

    Seems to me the doc was just doing an exam, not delivering a baby (see stomach lump and the doc’s inspection headband on the floor).

    That, to me, makes it even funnier!

    The doctor is not in scrubs yet and I think the clowns are playing a joke on him as he came to check on the progress of the pending birth. As an RN who works ob, this seems right…but who knows…it IS funny to me however.

    OK, I was falling asleep when I read this last night, and failed to notice the bassinet, and where the boxing glove was coming from. It’s much funnier when I’m fully awake.

    @ C.A. Vulgarity is strictly in the mind and eye of the beholder as is beauty. Don’t assume someone’s personal political bent just because they see a cartoon as vulgar. Opinions are like navels. Most have them, but some should keep them to to themselves.

    Well done comic, imho.
