  1. I love them all. Though these are cartoons, they show the basic dental office look (and experience) haven’t changed that much since the mid-1900s.

    The bottom one depicts clowns in a happy, fun manner I like. I’m sorry the sick & twisted ‘entertainment’ industry have made clowns almost exclusively evil in more recent times. It’s a reflection of how messed up they are, unfortunately.
