Dexter's Laboratory #29

Dexter finds himself in a very uncomfortable spot on Bill Wray's cover for this June 2002 DC/Cartoon Network issue — the boy genius is strapped into a dentist's chair, surrounded by an ominous array of whirring drills, clamps, and dental tools, desperately pleading "Perhaps we can discuss this?" Even the bravest scientific mind has its limits, and "Tooth Delay" promises that Dexter's legendary composure is about to meet its match in the most dreaded of all laboratories — the dentist's office. A fun, squirm-inducing entry in the series that captures the show's knack for finding big comedy in everyday childhood terrors.
