Always a pleasant surprise to see which new character is coming around the corner. Also, great job with the lettering for Dr. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s dialogue. I can almost hear her smoky, scorned, Sean-Young-going-on-TV-dressed-as-Catwoman-to-lobby-for-the-role-in-“Batman Returns” voice.
Of course I love it, but I think I see what bothered me about about Dr. Casual Racism- the same thing as Dr. Crazy Ex. I guess I was seeing Awesome Hospital as almost a Top Gun sort of place- you get to choose who you are. Even Dr. New Country and Dr. Prop Comic and Dr. Fanfic don’t see these as negatives, but positives- things they enjoy about themselves. I can’t see Dr. Crazy Ex enjoying that label (or DOES she???). Even Dr. Casual Racism might be more inclined to be Dr. Glad I’m White Straight American Male.
On the other hand, maybe all these names are how everyone at AH sees the world- which is what makes them so awesome, because no one else does.
And by the way, is Dr. Crazy Ex the only one who really knows what Dr. Dirtbike looks like under the helmet? I bet he’s secretly Dr. Doom, who has reformed and gone on to trade his life of evil for one of doing good- and has a much more awesome mask.
Which inspires a new thought- if there is AH and Weakass Hospital, what about Despicable Hospital (right next to Hotel California)?
@robcat I get that. I guess it would make sense that at WeakAss hospital you wouldn’t get to choose–you just get stuck with something.
Hey guys, so I am secretly in love with Dr. Crazy Ex Girlfriend–(She’s a Psy D, right? Bwah hah ahaha! That’d be funny). There is NO WAY that she is weak ass! She is going to kick some Dr. Dirtbike ass, it looks like! I love that his photo is still on her desk.
Chosen names? I assumed everyone goes by their legal names. And this is simply a world where things like Space Baby can be a family name. Cause that’d be awesome.

Why would you even date someone whose last name is “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”? That is asking for trouble.
Dr. Dirtbike lives dangerously.
Subtle work with the framed photos in panel 2.
@Robcat: He NEVER takes off the helmet. Never.
What does the cup say in the first panel?
Please don’t let her have laser implants in her hair, and exploding earrings that play “Kumbaya”.
Is she supposed to look like Dr. Cuddy from House?
Any plan to do a crossover with Drmcninja? I’m sure that Doc Mcninja could sympathize with Dr. Dirtbike’s problem.
Why would you even date someone whose last name is “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend� That is asking for trouble.
A) Dr. Dirtbike is not known for making wise choices with respect to his personal life.
B) The sex was fantastic.
I must say, everyone but “Dr.Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” is weakass.
Dr.Crazy Ex is just creepy.
I think she looks more like Lilith from Cheers, Fraiser’s ex. Either way it truly is awesome! LOL!
