The People's Clinic looks like Ashlee's kind of medical hovel.
Interesting fact. The Red Cross doesn't want you using their logo. From their website: "When the emblem is misused, it puts humanitarian workers and medical personnel at risk. These teams depend on community trust—both during peacetime and during war." Cease and desist letter forthcoming.

Jeff was going to name his clinic, Poor People’s Clinic, but then decided it would be evident as long as he didn’t bother to have the stucco siding repaired. However, whereas down the street at Rich People’s Clinic, patients have to show proof of insurance, the patients here have to show proof of poorness before they receive treatment.

I was told a Red Cross would come to help me once. I asked if I could get a blonde friendly one instead.

@HelenClark, and the proof of poorness in MW world is stucco siding that needs to be repaired, very messy apartments, and wearing flip flops while eating junk food. Wanders--no secret message today?

Gee wiilikers, Ashlee should feel right at home in the People’s Clinic. If memory serves me right, Dr. Jeff retired (or “semi-retired”) from the full-time practice of medicine to devote himself to fund raising for Peace Village in Vietnam. It looks like fund raising for the People’s Clinic is at low ebb, or nonexistent. Oh well, Jeff and Drew have Chateau Cory to come home ome to.

Ashlee: “I went back to the woods to search for it…and found it under some leaves! What size reward are you thinking about, babe?”

I have heard this interesting fact many times from my husband who's a long-time Red Cross volunteer. And now MW&M loyal readers know too. Thank you Mr. Wanders!

Again with the "babe" talk? Sheesh, get with it, Moy. It's "bae" nowadays. Criminy, even I know that.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"If You Already Filed An Insurance Claim, We Can Make This Our Little Secret, Babe".

Nance, your BFH perfectly describes a win-win for Ashlee. By Jove, you’ve done it again!

Seriously? I’m going to walk into a clinic with a broken arm when they aren’t even capable of fixing broken stucco?

I can’t believe Ashlee’s decorator did the People’s Clinic, too — it’s like Joanna Gaines, except “meth” instead of “contemporary farmhouse”

I'm getting a classic downtown Berkeley vibe from People's Clinic. And now I'm craving Top Dog.

Please, everyone, sleep late tomorrow; absolutely nothing is happening in the Monday strip.
