Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for September 21, 2020

Don’t say another word, doctor

He’s wearing a wire.

The second mouse gets the cheese

Clean your glasses.

Not exactly, doc.

Are those glasses too thick, or not thick enough?

“Gaaaacckkkkk. Gghhaakk.”

It’s hard to feel anything with your arms pinned to your sides.

And the Dope Award goes to the worst therapist in history.

Poor guy he just needs to get his “monkey” off his back.

When my oldest was about six, I had to buy some snap traps. I mentioned one morning that I caught a mouse last night and he asked “where are you going to let him go?” I looked at him and said “this isn’t a Tom and Jerry cartoon.”

He means in every way possible!

Great drawing of a mouse in a trap. Mark must have caught a few to be able to make it so realistic.

You’re not getting paid for this session, doc.

He dead!

You went to the wrong doctor, mousey.

Ummmm doc? Can you help me….

Um, no . . . I’m pretty sure he means, literally, Doc.

I know the feeling.

That’s funny!

Oh, snap!

Put yourself in my skin, doctor. Then you will know how I feel.
