StarringRassie

Comic adapted from a joke by Duane Walker.

  1. Six panels. A baby is born on a half-built hospital site. The newborn Rassie asks why the maternity ward is over there, hands over a better floor plan, returns years later with building plans, and at the grand opening says he was born there but someone still had to finish the job.

  1. Panel 1

    A building site. A nurse waves urgently while a site foreman in a hard hat protests.

    Nurse: Quick! The baby is coming!

    Foreman: But the hospital is not even finished!

  2. Panel 2

    A little later. A doctor holds up a newborn with Rassie’s face, pointing off to one side.

    Baby Rassie: Then why is the maternity ward over there?

  3. Panel 3

    Already a plan. The baby holds up a floor plan marked Beds and Casualty while the staff stare.

    Baby Rassie: Beds here. Casualty there. Better flow.

  4. Panel 4

    Many years later. A grown Rassie stands on the site with rolled plans under his arm, pointing.

    Rassie: Widen the corridor. Add another wing. Think three phases ahead.

  5. Panel 5

    Grand opening. An official addresses Rassie in front of the finished hospital and a clapping crowd.

    Official: So you built the hospital you were born in?

  6. Panel 6

    Full circle. Rassie looks back at the finished hospital, satisfied.

    Rassie: Ja. I was born there… but someone still had to finish the job.
