The Oncologist Can Be Kind of a Bummer

Kind of flippant about the oncologist, but that's Dr. Bryant's way, I suppose! I'm sad to hear that he has cancer. I probably wouldn't've made the Mummy crack if I had know, but since it's already out there, he really really looks like Boris Karloff as the Mummy. Weird!

In the first panel, the Professor's expression is totally masked by his bushy mustache, probably an automatic response of his sympathetic nervous system reacting to danger. But in the second, the look the Professor is giving Dr. Bryant is less, "No problem, old friend," and more "You complete me." Could go either way I guess.
