Why is the doctor conjuring up a heart in the third panel

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

He's explaining medical stuff. Black lung damages the whole cv. Heart being central.

Narratively... ya, maybe a poor decision.

It looks like it's supposed to be a single lung. It looks identical to one from frame 2

I guess you’re right. Bro draws lungs like hearts. But it still begs the question. Why is the doctor conjuring the lung out of thin air.

I'm not trained in such dark arts so I'm not equipped to answer your follow-up question. Suffice to say, don't mess with that doctor

All these questions, are you looking to add a "re" to your handle?

I don't get it, can someone explain?

It’s a little opaque but he’s doing a black power salute to the black dude because he has black lung.

Oh I see, thanks. I thought the doctor took his hair for some reason and the black lung spread to his skin.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

Because he has the black lung he thinks he’s full on black now.

This should have been 4 panels

But it's called "huge cartoons". It has to have six at least! /J
