HEY! Don't stop here!
The newer strips, 50-100, feature all sorts of stylistic and character changes, plus a bunch of COLOR strips. Check 'em out!
A rtist's Note:
The original HOO Cares! comic strip was drawn in 1997, about a family practice with a staff of regular returning characters. As the concept evolved I wanted to focus more and more of the strips on the patients and be able to broaden the scope of the gags. The original staff, as shown below, still appears throughout the 100 strips here, but just not as much as in the early examples. - RMcG

The practice represented in this comic strip is entirely fictional, and any resemblance to any actual person or business is a shame...and purely coincidental.
