Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Apple a day keeps the doctor away. Kid tries to keep the "doctor" away so as to avoid the shot. "Doctor" is actually a nurse and would be unaffected by the apple even if the supposed saying were true
TL;DR kid tries metaphor logic on wrong entity
Weird. It's dentist, in the UK. It didn't click that's what they were alluding to until I read your comment
I'm in the UK, it's definitely "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" here. Maybe you just misheard as a kid?
When I was in primary school someone in my class had to get all their teeth pulled, I have no idea how someone manages to rot their teeth so badly at around 5 years old. I don't really have a point with that story, it just popped into my head and I had to share
Huh. I seeresults for both versions when googling, but it appears it was indeed originally doctor.
