Night Nurse: If Mr. McMurphy doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way. But I don't think that he would like it.
McMurphy: Heh, YOU'D like it, wouldn't you? Here, give it to me.
Oh come on. Not even the little hat?
A fun and meaningful piece drawn by a legendary artist? You hit the trifecta.
Aside from Hembeck's characteristic curlicue knees, it almost looks like he was going for a bit more realism in this depiction of Night Nurse. Whatever the case, it works!
Yeah, aside from the curly knee caps, it's definitely much more realistic and less "Hembecked" than his superheroes. Really cool! Happy New Year!
Marvel in the 1970s was much more open to different concepts outside of superheroes than what we get today. Night Nurse is a great example, and Hembeck works his magic here on the character.
A Hembeck always makes the perfect gift. But the added personal connection (a nod to your profession) makes this one even more perfect, if there's such a thing.
Fred is awesome!
