A two-panel comic strip shows a doctor telling a young boy he must remove his tonsils, and later, the same doctor at a restaurant complimenting two women on their appearance, using the word 'swell' to describe their looks.

The doctor is depicted in a white coat in the first panel and a suit in the second, with the setting changing from a medical office to a restaurant.
