Boring vs. sad: Battle for soap opera supremacy
Rex Morgan, M.D., 1/22/26

You really gotta give it up for today's Rex Morgan, M.D.: it truly offers a master class in absolutely nothing happening. Rex asks if his and June's current situation could get any less interesting, and June counters that she plans to quietly read books on her tablet, something that would be interesting for her but very boring for anyone who might be watching her in a visual medium like the comics. Rex then proposes an extremely low-stakes bit of tension: will they call his name soon, or will he have to wait around for a while? This is resolved in that very panel, as his name is called almost immediately. A truly wondrous series of soap opera panels. These two did not in fact have sex in the lead-up to all this, just in case you were wondering.
