AI Analysis

The comic strip, originally published in 1994, features a humorous exchange between a doctor and a patient named Anne.

The Conversation

• The doctor inquires about Anne's job, to which she responds that she has given up sleep, exercise, and nutrition in favor of coffee.
• The doctor then asks if there are any adverse effects, to which Anne replies that this is the aorta of the last person who asked her that.

The Punchline

The humor lies in the unexpected twist on the typical doctor-patient conversation, where the patient is not concerned about their health but rather the consequences of asking about it. The punchline relies on wordplay, with "aorta" sounding like "aorta of the last person," creating a clever and amusing connection between the two phrases.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
