This Makes Doesn't More Sense, It?

In re yesterday's H.T. Webster cartoon, doesn't putting the panels in this order make more sense?

"Some Doctors Have No Intelligence Whatsoever" by H.T. Webster in Chicago Journal, ca. June, 1921

The second, third, and fourth frames could be in almost any order; but Mr. Patient there would have no reason to put his shirt, tie and suit back on until panel five. Certainly not in panel three.

Now you know why so many cartoonists of the early days of newspaper cartooning numbered the panels of their work.
