What game are they playing? Handgun ammo check, bag of coins? Hmm. Green jewel for upgrading a sword what?

just wait till they find the solid tumor in the stomach that is made out of cheese.

eating all those cheese wheels at once is not always a good thing.

Alternatively the patient could say "Stop trying to loot me I'm not dead yet"

Good comic, but why is the nurse ambu-bagging the patient's crotch?

I remember an early dungeon crawler, I think it was Dungeon Siege, where you had a donkey following you around you piled all that stuff on to.

Hey if Doomguy can perform open heart surgery on demons in under a second why can't you?

Granted none of his patients survive but hey he got that pesky organ out...and crushed it in his hands okay maybe he's not the best example.

Based on these comments it seems like a lot of people don't get this comic. It seems to me that the patient is an NPC and the items in his torso is the loot they would drop when the player kills them. Also the person who needs gems to upgrade their sword is another doctor or nurse, hence the white gloves.

Thanks complete sense! As you go deeper and deeper and deeper into the dungeon, you load the donkey up with the good you find.

Then when you realize you've hit the end and or might be lost and panicked, you cut open the donkey for food and then try and find your way out by leaving a trail of gold coins every path you take.

I thought the line about upgrading the swords came from the surgeon. Makes the nurse's "Your WHAT?" even funnier

Honestly, I was thinking more of Wallace going after Father Mendez from Resident Evil 4. The "Big Cheese" would be running scared as that mad Yorkie engineer chases him down in a ramshackle mech, drooling maniacally.

Wallace: "Everybody knows you're made of cheese, Bitores..."

Meanwhile...

Gromit: [silently looks around the village, wondering where everybody's going]

They keep them in a box at the hospital (or at least used to).

My one field trip to a hospital in middle school included seeing x-rays of foreign objects in people (swallowed or inserted), and then being shown the box of stuff some people were too embarrassed to claim after they were removed.

I mean, I always assumed those things were in a pocket or pouch that you rifled through.

Now, loot on animals/monsters is a different story.

In Torchlight you load up your pet up and can even send it to sell things for you.

How an animal is bartering on your behalf I'm not sure but I suppose if a flesh eating deer showed and dumped a bunch of bloody loot on me I would give it money if that got it to leave.

I think his head is to the left. The other hand is anouther surgeon.

Though if that is meant to be an ambu-bag, why is the scrub nurse doing that? Why is the patient being ambu-baged at all? They should be intubated. Can you belive this random webcomic might not show a particularly accurate surgery?!

I… don’t think you’ve played enough video games to understand where loot is kept…

> the person being operated upon says "I need 10 of those to upgrade my sword."

That's not the person on the bed that says that, it is another doctor or nurse. The person on the bed has there head on the left side of the frame. Where the breathing tube is.

My dude you don't play enough games with looting mechanics if you haven't run into several variations of "this thing has no pockets, how is it carrying a bazooka?"

The last bit is just a deviation used narrativley at times to add in an extra joke layer. It tends to make up for the need to shoehorn it with the comedy of the statement. In this case, that ten random gems enhances someone's sword and alludes to the fact that, in a very narrow view, these mechanics turn players into little loot goblins searching for random crystals inside dead things to improve items.

OP did a mash-up of video games and real life to turn the absurd logic that results into a joke. You're just taking it too literally. And I say that as someone who often does the same.

That's what we in the business call dedication. Man's basically a super-scientist.

If he had an arch a'la Venture Bros, who would it be? Maybe that glove-hatted penguin, Feathers McGraw? Piella Bakewell was his arch for a while, but that ended after a tragic ballooning accident.
