He's Fine

A man is at the front of the checkout line at the grocery store. A woman comes up to him and asks "May I go ahead of you? I only have one item," and he agrees. The checker whispers to her manager "This is it, Mr. Varvel." As the woman steps up to the register, Mr. Varvel exclaims "Congratulations, madam! As our 10,000th customer you get $100 worth of groceries and a free trip to Europe!"

Gladys and Wilberforce walk in where Brutus is sitting in his green chair reading a newspaper. "We're back!" she exclaims. "What did the doctor say is wrong with Wilberforce?" Brutus asked. "The doctor he has a rhinovirus," Gladys replies. "And I haven't been to the zoo in months," Wilberforce says, oddly gesticulating with his hands.
Now she's dressed like it's freezing cold outside.

I don't believe the doctor phrased it like that at all. He has a cold. Why'd you even take him to the doctor for a cold?

And what's with Wilberforce's hands in the last panel?
