Channel Changer

A young girl comes out of the exam room of Seymour Fagin, DDS. "Guess what, Daddy? I've got 37 percent more cavities. What are cavities, Daddy? Huh?" The father looks at the reader like a defeated parent.
Why isn't Seymour Fagin, DDS talking about this girl's cavities with her father? He looks scared of her. Is she a biter?

Is that the dentist? Maybe it's his dental hygienist. So many people look absolutely grotesque in some of these strips.

Brutus and Gladys are watching TV sitting their matching green chairs. "Hey, did you change the channel?" Brutus asks. "I didn't think you were watching," Gladys replies. "Not watching? I was hanging on every word." "That's odd, considering I changed the channel five minutes ago."
If Brutus had been paying attention, he would've seen Gladys start to change the channel and could ask "Hey, why are you changing the channel?" Usually there's some way to tell a channel is being changed.
