   “Cleanup” is not verb. It should read “clean up.” While a comma after “blemishes” is unfortunately now considered optional by modern grammarians, there should definitely be a comma after “spots” Of course, nowadays we live in a world where grammar and usage aren’t important, which spills over into every other aspect of our lives, including liturgy.

   I wonder if this is an advertisement for that marvel of modern medicine (pardon the sarcasm): the Pill. Who better to market this to than the plebs who ride the subway (again, more sarcasm)?

   I’m sure that Dr Zizmor is a decent man, but when I first read it I saw “Zitmor”. Embarrassing on my part and ironic if correct.

   I am with Mr. Day above and thought he should change his name to Zitless.

   Wait, does the small box say, “every patient treated by Dr. Z.”???

   Also, the colours in the rainbow are in the wrong order.

   Not sure, but it kind-of looks like a picture taken in a mirror. Which, if it is, means the original ad is backwards? meant to be read in a mirror?

   Dr. Zizmor has been advertising with the NYCTA for at least 20 years. Those with eastern European backgrounds may make an interesting connection very fast. And indeed, the small black box lower left-center does say “Dr. Z.”

   But in an earlier day, did patients need to verify their cure with Dr. Cohen to return to the community?

   Salutationes omnibus.

   Dr. Zizmor’s ads used to have a image of the man himself, or at least I presumed it to be so. Perhaps he has aged since I first lived in NYC.

    It looks like a photo of a billboard outside taken from inside the carriage.

    Dr Zizmor has been around and raising comments for ages. There also used to be a hemorrhoid surgeon with a very evocative name who advertised on the subways, but fortunately I’ve forgotten his name.

    Traductora, was it Dr. Pyle? LOL

    Obviously, in German “Zizmor” is pronounced “Zitsmor”, an oxymoronic name for a clear-skin cream.

    We New Yorkers have long mused about a meeting between Fr. Z and Dr. Z.

    Dr. Zizmor is pictured on the advertisement. His ads are on my commute subway train. I believe that’s his shoulder on the lower left. And indeed, it states that all patients are treated by Dr. Z!
