Ugh, you encapsulated every man's fear when they haven't been to the dentist in a while. Add on top that the first dentist I experienced in my adult life was a worn out county free-clinic dentist who didn't care about my well-being and was lite on the pain shots while he yanked out my wisdom tooth. NOT COOL.
Anyhow, I enjoy your strip as it is, so I am glad you will still do two strips a week of Crit Miss Classic. Your long form works have been hit or miss, but, in the interest of ART, I wouldn't mind see you take another stab at it.
