Bonus cartoon — Laughter's the best medicine (Patreon)

Unfortunately, I accidentally published this before it was colored — on the same day I published the Tin Man cartoon. So today's bonus is a full-color version of the Pagliacci cartoon!

There's an old joke that goes like this:

A man goes to a doctor. “Doctor, I’m depressed,” the man says, "Life is harsh, unforgiving, cruel..." The doctor lights up. The treatment, after all, is simple. “The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight,” the doctor says, “Go and see him! That should sort you out.” The man bursts into tears. “But doctor,” he says, “I am Pagliacci.”

If you're a fan of The Watchmen, you know it's one of Rorschach's favorite jokes, too...

I always wondered what happened when Pagliacci visited other medical professionals. Now, I guess we know.
