The only exercise I’ve had
My feeling is that this is about the third week of their freshman university year. Things move fast in those first few weeks. empires rise and fall. In this story, look forward to all Shelley’s old tricks: constant prodding and poking of people foremost among them. There are few jabbier fingers in the last quarter century of comics.
…He was a right laugh when you got to know him?
Don’t forget nosy as well as jabby.
Shelley could meddle for England.
Andy thinks he’s going to make a change, as he looks at the man in the mirror.
I’m just happy to see Shelly’s return!
I suppose it’s more seventies than nineties, but the juxtaposition of ringing and bicycle riding has got me thinking of Queen.
Yeah, you need more than 16oz curls to keep up your aerobic endurance. And contrary to popular belief, smoking doesn’t make your lungs stronger because they have to work harder.
Hacking coughs are a pretty good abdominal workout, though
It would seem that way. Shelley’s still managed to maintain her figure.
I assume the pints she’s been drinking are proper 20oz UK ones. Not that there’s anything wrong with a US “pint”.
Well, other than it being too small.
Hmm. Is the Matt going AWOL story a Blur reference perchance?
Sorry Ross, all I have done this morning is contradict your suppositions. No – I didn’t really follow Blur “back in the day” (or now).
No worries John, even being proven wrong by you is a treat, and invites many more mysteries.
To paraphrase the old Chinese saying “one who asks questions is a fool for five minute. One who never asks questions is a fool all of his life.”
I’ve dedicated my life to finding the overlap in that Venn diagram.
If Andy wants to get fit, maybe he should join the Army cadets.
Riding a bike is excellent exercise and a great way to get about,* I wish I could still do it.
In other news – really? No one at all? Oh well, I suppose I’ll have to put it up on ebay or something…
*provided you can avoid all the holes in the road, both pot and arse.
Oh yeah, I’m very much in favour of riding a bike and do it on a daily basis. But the Army Cadets were right there in the strip…
When you get to 18 don’t you have to join the T.A?
Then you can commandeer a tank and try to invade Paris.
Kinda sad to see two young adults destroyed by such a small run. They absolutely need to exercise.
Aw man, living in private rented accommodation in their first year rather than enjoying the questionable pleasures of Fallowfield or the Whitworth Park toblerones? Hard lines.
Thank you for the reminder of a year living above Revolution in a flat with windows that would disgrace a prison cell, trying to finish an MA while the Questionable Pleasures played every night. I shall treasure every one of those memories that I can’t successfully block out.
If it’s any consolation, when I spent the summer trying to write up my MSc in Edinburgh, my bedroom looked out onto Cowgate (just up from the Gilded Balloon) and my office looked out onto both South Bridge and Cowgate. No respite from the Festival or the Fringe, even on the telly (Mark Lamarr, broadcasting live from outside the Gilded Balloon…)
For some reason the new comics are not appearing in the RSS feed – what’s up with that?
It’s a problem with Feedly and some other services, it’s been happening for a few months and I cannot seem to fix it.
Maybe it has been fixed? It showed up on my Feedly RSS feed… although I hesitate saying it because it may not anymore.
Yeah, I just discovered that Feedly had failed to deliver the last several pages of the wrestling-in-the-woods story and everything afterwards. I just figured John was on hiatus. !@#$@#$!
Maybe they should stop for a smoke break halfway up.
Andy’s face vs. Shelley’s pose in panel 1 …
I was quietly pleased with this tableau
He was just about to do it again, wasn’t he
There’s a J’accuse that deserves at least honorable mention in the jabby fingers competition
