I had to look it up to see what would actually happen in this kind of situation:
To complete necessary dental radiographs and/or treatment in young, uncooperative children general anaesthesia or deep sedation is often required. The hospital, ambulatory surgery centre, or office setting can be used to complete the treatment. Treatment can be efficiently and safely completed under well trained professionals following established guidelines and protocols despite of low incidence of adverse outcomes from GA, deep sedation, or moderate sedation in the dental office setting.
John Patterson would have to have this conversation with the mother. However, Lynn Johnston does not know this and unfortunately for her, she had no one to ask what the procedure would be.
You just know she squawked like a seagull when Rod tried explaining things to her. If there's anything a narcissist hates, it's someone who knows what he's actually talking about. It's why Doctor Doom wants to crush the accursed Richards: Reed is smarter than he is.
She does impress me as being perfectly willing to rip a baby's head off and eat it like an apple in front of its mother if she thought it would prove that she's more talented than Bill Watterson.
It was something Mark Waid said he'd do. All most people at Marvel see is a pompous sorehead with an aversion to admitting he's wrong. Jack Kirby once showed us the face under the mask...the 'hideous' scar he blames on Mister Fantastic
is barely noticeable but since he's so petty and thin-skinned, Von Doom is practically Latverian for Patterson, he keeps doing stupid crap.
Also, John is too bloody stupid to understand what he looks like to the small child he's busy judging. I'd like to see his reaction to being given a cavity search by the Hulk.
Lynn is the cliche of the male driver who would rather be lost than ask for directions because she thinks asking makes one look weak and stupid. it's also probably why whenever the kids in this strip asks a question, the parents fail to provide an answer that is substantive, instead waxing poetic or making a bad pun- sure it's useless, but at least it masks the fact that they don't know the actual answer, and that's all that really matters.
What she doesn't know is it on the rare occasion that she does ask, the person she's asking might not know either. This happens to me a lot when I'm out walking. People assume that I know where a thing is because I happen to be in the vicinity.
If someone asks me for directions and I don't know, I say "I'm so sorry, I am not familiar with that place, I don't know." A Patterson would give some bastardized version of a Chicago song and bleat "does anyone really know where they are, does anyone really care? If so I can't imagine why, I always give myself time enough to cry."
I'm the absolute worst person to be stopped by strangers on the street because I'm an atheist with a terrible sense of direction, I don't smoke and I don't have any money.

So you are saying Lynn Johnston is Dr. Doom?

I don't remember that story. Did Dr. Doom rip off a baby's head and eat it like an apple? That seems little harsh even for the good doctor.

The hideous scar seems small compared to the odd way Kirby would draw shadows.

Jack said that the paranoiac had a flaw: the mistaken belief he was ugly.

Kirby was a master at putting in those little drawing moments that may or may not have been in the original script.

If John was the Hulk, he would just get stronger; because the madder the Hulk gets, the stronger the Hulk gets.

There goes the stereotype that all atheists are rich smokers with a great sense of direction.
