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.

Well yeah but here's the thing. In 1989 The Cosby show was at its peak popularity and in 1989 very few people if anyone knew that Bill Cosby had been sedating & raping women in his free time. I was a little girl & watched the cosby show every week on TV, it was a great show portraying a great family, bill seemed like a model father and model citizen, he portrayed a doctor on the show.

My surgical procedure at the time took place in Long Beach California which isn't far from Hollywood, and in retrospect, based on that weird question my anesthesiologist asked me just as I was going under,

I have a feeling that he may have known what Bill Cosby had going on behind the scenes. Because WHY ELSE WOULD HE HAVE ASKED ME SUCH A CREEPY QUESTION AT SUCH A SPOOKY VULNERABLE MOMENT

And the only reason I vividly remember him asking me that was because I only had a brief moment to contemplate his question and formulate my thoughts and response, and my first thought was "that's a weird question but yeah I guess Bill Cosby is a great guy, good TV show" MY DAD EVEN HAD A BILL COSBY BOOK ON HIS BOOKSHELF 🤦‍♀️But all those thoughts took a fraction of a second and I had no time to reply to his question before I went unconscious.
