I checked the link again and it was showing a new comic. Here’s the one I was referring to in case anyone still cares:  
[comic](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/uclickcomics/20030327/cx_crbal_uc/crbal20030327&e=2).  
Thanks for all the responses!  
I still think it’s about a male/female role reversal like \*\* Space Vampire\*\* suggested.

I went to the Doctor and told him I was having a problem. Passing silent gassers.

I told him I had constant, bad gas, but at least they were silent. I told him I passed gas several times in the waiting room and did it again, just now, as i was talking to him.

“Any ideas of what you can do for me?” I asked.

“Yes,” he said. I’m giving you a hearing test!"
