Restless Leg Syndrome Cartoon - Herb’s Fifth Nighttime Awakening #3880110 (License: Personal Use)

In this satirical cartoon by Scott Hilburn, a man named Herb stands barefoot in a green robe, wide-eyed as he observes his own leg protruding from beneath a blue couch, twitching mid-air. The scene is set in a dimly lit living room with a TV, popcorn bowl, and soda cup nearby-suggesting he fell asleep while watching TV, only to be jolted awake by involuntary leg movements. The caption underscores the chronic, disruptive nature of restless-leg syndrome (RLS), especially during nighttime rest.
