Ted Confey was a villain. Ted Miller was a lech. Ned Fletcher was a cad. Why should we assume Ed is any better, just because he drops a consonant from his name.
"Hello, I'm Mister Ed" A vet is a vet of course of course And no one can talk to a vet of course. That is of course unless the vet Is the famous Mister Ed!" (Apologies to Jay Livingston and Ray Evans)
James Herriot grew tired of his fame, faked his death, dyed his hair, got a face lift, emigrated to Charterstone, and set up practice there, I guess? And Eshtelle will dump him to go back to Weelbur when she discovers that he’s really 105 years old?
@KitKat:
"I wonder how Ed feels about tickling the ivories."
Isn't that what he does when he's performing scaling and root planing on an elephant with gingivitis?
A vet walks in the the room He says, “Why am I stuck in this practice, now? Why am I stuck in this practice The rest of my life is so hard I need a middle aged client I want a shot at a cougar Don’t want to end up an incel in an incel graveyard” Cat doctor, cat doctor Schmoozing a client In an antiseptic room Dr. Momchaser, Momchaser Get these mutts away from me You know, I don’t find this stuff rewarding anymore.
If you’ll go to lunch with me You’ll forget that ol’ lunkhead I can call you Estelle And Estelle, when you call me, you can call me Ed.
Libby has been entirely too accommodating and friendly. I can see Estelle taking a tumble after getting caught on Libby, getting a sprained ankle, and crawling to the door just in time to get an organic catfood delivery from Dr. Ed. All orchestrated by the devious Libby, who got a little scared when Wilbur showed up with Pierre. She tried to look charmed, but she's been scheming...
Estelle brought Libby in for a deworming, yet Dr. Ed declares that Libby is in "great shape." I never owned a cat (dog owner), but I'm guessing that a cat having worms is not normal. In other words, I already don't trust this joker.
HelenClark, Somebody on Comics Cur. mentioned that "Carol" seems to be a Mr. Ed reference also, and yes, I looked it up and I see Wilbur Post's wife was named Carol.
TUESDAY. I’m always pleased when June continues the Giella tradition of unrecognizable food. That’s either salad left in the bag until it turned brown, or egg noodles tossed with a packet of onion soup mix.
@Wool Worth : I just checked back through the last couple of weeks, and I don’t see anything about Libby getting a deworming. Estelle says she’s taking Libby to the vet, and the narrative box says it’s for a checkup, which makes sense with the vet’s comment that Libby is in great shape. Wilbur getting a deworming, on the other hand….

First we have Wilbur, now Mr (Dr) Ed? Maybe KM does have a sense of humor after all.

A vet hitting on his clients, huh? And no vet technician in the room. Remember your Arthur/Arther escapade, Estelle.
I wonder how Ed feels about tickling the ivories.

Why am I stuck in this practice
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a middle aged client

Very impressive history lesson, Wanders! Your institutional memory is good.
And some funny song parodies, gang!
Ed looks like he's wearing a bad wig.

Those of us from the Boston area know that Ed Harding is the news anchor on the local ABC station

There is a resemblance...

P.S Great parodies tkraft and Toots!
Let me guess. Dr Ed is into salsa dancing but hates karaoke. I think he looks like an adult Beaver Cleaver.
BTW, I loved Sunday's strip with those sad Wilbur faces. The sad Wilbur face is the best Wilbur face.
-- S. McW.
I find Wilbur entirely more enjoyable when I imagine him speaking in the voice of Peter Lorre.
HelenClark, Somebody on Comics Cur. mentioned that "Carol" seems to be a Mr. Ed reference also, and yes, I looked it up and I see Wilbur Post's wife was named Carol.
Well, Pierre magnetised the chicks as expected. The only problem is that he magnetised them towards himself, not Weelbur.

I agree with fauxprof. I am particularly impressed with the Picasso inspired ice cubes.
