every time i go brooklyn i leave that damn 7-10

Alas poor Jung, he knew – sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. . ..

Too many head games for me.

Messing with his head.

If I wash this, will it shrink?

Freud psycho-analysing Marie Antoinette.

My brother is a head-shrinker.And when he’s not doing that, he’s a psychiatrist.

“Though this be madness, yet there is method in it.”

@mabrndt

you commented to me yesterday:“You’re obviously better at searching the internet than I am.”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++It’s amazing what you can find when you plunge the depths of the internet.

@masterkrains

from yesterday, your comment:“Is that the proper covering for the “Royal Flush”?++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Very clever and hilarious!!! I won’t even make an attempt to top that! Bravo!

Another “skull session”?

Alas poor Joyce, you were a bitch!

To be, or not to be suffering from penis envy; that is the question.

When doctors say that they are practicing medicine, that is precisely what they mean – practicing _ and the bury their mistakes !

Same size image as clicking the strip here, can be found at its Wikipedia page, or at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.Rudolf Virchow with skull (link shows his Wikipedia page) isn’t, as far as I can tell, anywhere online. Maybe someone, who is better at searching the internet, or is multilingual, can find it; I couldn’t.Its Wikipedia page lists the source as: some website, the pinnacle of obscurity.About all I could find is that it was used for the click-to-enlarge front page of the October 8, 1898, issue of the Illustrated London News. The artist’s Google translated German Wikipedia page and collection.

“Don’t eat that! It’s not skull candy!”

@4arm, good one! But the Latino Day of the Dead celebrations (with candies) was hardly known in the English speaking world for any length of time.

@Stell, that was so good – but surely Mabrndt won’t be fooled.

I was afreud something like this would happen.

Alas poor Jung, I knew him well.

Good luck at that (finding one that actually knows what he’s doing). But the psychiatric profession is improving. A century ago, they were the equivalent of witchdoctors. Now they’re the equivalent of, say, Dr. Benjamin Rush, who supplied field medical training and a medical kit to the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1803 – that is, training in blood-letting, and a supply of laxatives containing so much mercury that archaeologists have used it as a tracer to find the expedition’s exact route.
