Decoder

Okay, I caved.  Many of you non-chiropractors out there wanted to be let in on some of the jokes.  So for you, and probably some chiropractors out there, I am providing this addendum:  The Vert Joke Decoder.  I will attempt to explain the intended joke behind each cartoon, as well as what was going through my head at the time.  Remember, Vert is a spine, and I am attempting to see the world from his eyes.

There are few different ways you can access these joke explanations:

Look for the questionmarkicon next to the cartoons.  You’ll find them while browsing through the Vert Library, or perusing its “Card Catalog.” Clicking on the icon will take you directly to the appropriate explanation page.  Then, after you’ve finished laughing hysterically, click on your browser’s back button, or the cartoon itself, to get yourself back to where you were.

Or, for your convience, the jokes are indexed here.  Click on the joke of your choice for its explanation.
