  1. Gosh it’s hard to pick a favorite out of the medical humor. I love the man who practiced his cough all night. And the doctor who is referring his patient to a roofing contractor! Then there’s the man who self-diagnoses by going on the internet. I remember when my mother-in-law and I watched ‘Marcus Welby, M.D.’ on TV many years ago and I swear one of us would get the symptoms of his patients soon after! I love seeing these cartoons. Laughter is so good for us. Thank you, all cartoonists!

  2. As an cartoonist I would like to know on what issue are you accepting cartoons for.
