Marvel comics used to (maybe still does) publish a comic called “What If”. In one issue, the story revolved around Conan the Barbarian in modern-day New York (because if anything is going to happen like that, why would it ever happen anywhere but modern New York) and Conan beat up a guy with huge muscles, saying that his strength didn’t come from lifting meaningless pieces of metal over and over, but from fighting for his life all the time. I’m paraphrasing a lot of stylish dialogue that was spread over a couple of pages, of course, but I guess you get the idea. Hubris, whose stamina comes from horsing around and risking bodily injury on a regular basis would have an easy time outrunning anyone whose endurance comes from time spent on a treadmill. Or me. He could definitely outrun me. Running’s not my thing.

Greg, but could Hubris outrun you in a kayak skirt?
Aw they’re doing some bonding. xD I know Hubris doesn’t like David, but maybe this will change his attitude some. 😛
Well, Hubris did buy David a nice present for his birthday.
I may be wrong, but didn’t Conan end up becoming a pimp in that weird What If storyline?
Sounds like “Tarzan’s New York Adventure”.
That sounds like a good coffee mug. That and the difficult body cartoon from early on with Hubris.
My partner’s uncle was a farmer and formidably strong. He and his fellow farmers used to guffaw at professional strong guys and tell stories of feats of strength working men used to do in their professions that put the strongmen to shame.
Kinda like ballet dancers and football players, and toddlers and anyone else!
There are muscles built from work and muscles built for mass. You can build pretty looking muscles that have size but no real power. Got lots of stories about that from high school and early college… and one about a high school ballet dancing classmate. Bragged too much about finally being allowed to stand on point. I did it too, I had the strength in back and legs to do it. Her teacher was happy someone put a pin in her ego. (hey that is a lot of work, I respect it. Just be aware of what others might be able to do)
Greg, I don’t see any links for selling coffee mugs. T-shirts and stuff, but no coffee mugs. How about a coffee mug like the one mentioned in the last frame, and one with Hubris’ difficult body strip?
That’s an excellent idea. I think I can do that. Hang on. Hopefully, this won’t go south the way the calendar idea did…
2020 wasn’t a good year for calendars or day planners.
(missed this one) I grew up like that, farm kid and you just were fit from doing what you had to do. Later at college I waitressed and continued with that fit and not showing it. (could also eat things I can’t now also)
Those that work out may not be fit. Had a few ex’s like that. If you’re so big and manly why did I just walk past you, grab you and carry you across the house and dump you on the couch without breaking a sweat. (hehehe the ex marine was fun to play with his mind like that) And YES, you can be ‘fat but fit’ as well.
