Blargh. I actually had this one written and drawn last Saturday, but then I became so ill I couldn't muster the energy to operate the laptop for like three whole days. Apologies to anyone who was waiting for email replies, I'll get through them tonight when I return from gym. :)
By the way, the theory that Dr Dirty refers to as 'crap relativism' in this strip is a real thing known to real doctors as 'Hedonic adaption'. It doesn't matter if you've been lusting after a sports car for years, once you've bought one it's only a matter of time before you get used to being a guy who owns a sports car and want something else.
It's a total accident that this is strip number #42 and that it happens to contain something resembling profundity, but I'm retrospectively proud of this now that I've noticed and am going to pretend from this point onwards that it was intentional.
