Dr. Dan Dazzler in “9 Lives Has Dr. Dazzler”
Time once more to check in on everyone’s favorite intern, Dr. Dazzler*. This episode comes from Ben Casey #7 (August-October 1963) and examines Dan’s extreme good and/or bad luck. No Mr. Fribble, though.

Discussion questions:
1. Why did the flower pot crash before it even hit the ground? Did Dan knee it with some of his Doctor-Fu?
2. Did Dr. Dazzler cause the truck accident?
3. Does the ambulance driver just drive around aimlessly looking for a doctor?
4. Why is Dan’s uninjured leg in traction? How did he break his right arm — it looked OK to me when he fell backwards?
*Dr. Dan Dazzler was the four-page back-up comic that ran in Dell’s Ben Casey comic book. Further adventures and information on Dr. Dazzler can be found here.

Right after he fell over, the driver of that truck came in and broke his arm for making him crash into a light pole.

Did anyone else notice that Dr. Dazzler also survived what should have been a fatal electrocution? Those Power Wires clearly collapsed RIGHT BEHIND HIM onto the road he was walking on, and yet he didn’t die instantly.
Clearly his natural walk is simply throughout series of concentric circles, man he’s awesome.

3. Does the ambulance driver just drive around aimlessly looking for a doctor?
I think so. He’s just randomly picked up Dr. Dazzler in some of the earlier stories.
Alternately, maybe he’s obsesed with Dr. D and is stalking him.

Wow. That was a lot funnier than I thought it’d be.
