Hades Clinic. The deadly sins had their physicians today. Of course Sloth and Gluttony continue to pile on weight. Envy is disfigured from too many cosmetic surgeries -- He wants to look just like a movie star. Wrath's blood pressure is off the charts. Lust is suffering from exhaustion. And we turned Greed away -- He wants every test, but never pays a bill! At least Pride must take good care of himself. He does, but he still has a swollen head! |

Your metabolism slows down as you get older. But time goes faster to make up for it. I have less energy these days, doc --- it was a lot easier pushing 50 than it is pulling it! You need to change your diet. There's more to "eating smart" than making sure somebody else picks up the check. And it's time for you to start exercising regularly ... because your legs are buckling and your belt isn't! |

Here it is, boys, the maternity ward --- Or as we like to call it, "the heirport." Look at your new baby sister, Frank --- No hair, no teeth and makes a lot of noise! I'm not surprised at all. Quality control is terrible on everything these days. I think she was brought by the stork. I'm pretty sure I was. My dad always says it was somebody with a really big bill! |

In sports news, the world title boxing match was called off because the defender pulled a muscle while jogging in the rain. A cramped damp champ! The pro athlete pension fund voted against the purchase of penny equities. Jock flock blocks schlock stock. In other news, a cabdriver won a lot of money in a wrongful termination suit. Sacked hack in the black! Knock if off, Ernie! I'm trying to listen to the news, here! A man who won a pickle-eating contest ended up getting a hospital bill for medical care. Dill ill pill bill! |

Let's see, you'll be in a semi-private room. That's $500. We hook you up to an IV, that's $300, and we'll monitor your vital signs, that's $475. A complete set of tests will be $1,250. Next we'll ... Uh, excuse me ... I think I'm having a change of heart. Oh, then that's $50,000. |

Welcome again to "Dr. Ernie, comic strip Psychologist" as he answers questions from readers. Shirley P.asks, "Dear Dr. Ernie, my doctor says I'm a hypochondriac, what does that mean?" It means it's all in your mind. Have you been doing any thinking lately? From William T. "Dear Dr. Ernie, if you're so great, can you cure my delusions of grandeur?" Probably not but my bill certainly will humble you some! |
