Nice outfit, Mr. DeGroot.

We all have to start somewhere.

“A Running Joke”“Speed Eraser”“The Fast And The Blurriest”“Cannonball Done”“Days Of Blunder”“Forrest Stump”“The Wrong Side Of The Tracks”“Carriages Of Perspire”“Jock Crust-eau”“Sweat Is Banned”or“Running, Fashionably Late”

Good family (that’s why Luann is cool).

Yeah, Frank is definitely gonna get “ribbed”…good thing he and Brad are no longer “on the market”- cos Frank’s lookin’ “Pretty Fly, For A Rad Guy” (♪)….

I sure hope Brad knows his CPR…

I can hear the “Rocky” theme playing now.

His abs are good for laughing… at

Yeah, I happened to see that, towards the end of yesterday’s. Spectacular shot! And I’m sure it’s even better to see, in person!

Ecch. Meanwhile, Frazz is wearing the same thing and being the most pompous runner in the universe—making Frank look like good company by comparison.

He’s a rad dad.

Pretty cool!

I hope Frank starts slowly,…

doesn’t seem that long ago that Brad had the same physique as his dad.

“Probably patches in case Frank’s spare tire blows out”.And when ya gets old, it’s harder to remove that spare tire.

Ya Know, Frank if You Stood next to a WALL, Pulled that Sweat Band over Your eyes, and put Your Hands Behind Your Back, You’d be Ready for a Firing Squad.I would also Suggest that You have a LAST Cigarette, but the Perpetual “Politically Correct” Here would Complain VEHEMENTLY….,

He needs to put some sunscreen on his bald head or it’s going to burn, big time.

“No matter what you think smoking is a Killer.”_____________________________________

Oh and the FACT that Frank is Standing before a Firing Squad is NO Big Deal Right?

Geeeeez! See What I Mean?

Oh no…Brad’s father….he’s going to die….:(

Frank and I can kill any fad simply by adopting it.

I do not personally “get” the use or value of these “fanny pack” things… like the red one Frank is wearing. My wife wears one when she exercises and it is silly AND uncomfortable. I tried wearing one 2-3 times to see if it would be convenient or helpful when I exercise… but all it did was constrict my movement, get in my way, and really not useful for anything much. Unfortunately, in addition, while most women can get away with the fanny pack look RELATIVELY unscathed for it looks and acts “sort of” like a purse….. a guy tends to look either on the verge or over the edge in terms of foolishness wearing one. The only exception may be in terms of an extreme athelete perhaps running a 10K race or longer or a marathon or triathalon. However, on Frank, the fanny pack is probably close to useless or at least superfluous…. he would do well to start his athletic endeavors by dropping the fanny pack and probably also the headband. Then he would look pretty much like what he is… a middle aged guy trying to do some exercise.

“It has been flying above my house for the last few days "*BS – when I said we needed to PARTY for your 10,000 comment… I had no idea someone would go this far!

Ever notice how much Frank De Groot and Knute look alike? Hmmmm…..???

I feel so embarrassed for Frank in that second panel!

Hope the paramedics are following him.

Thank you for posting the photo of the Good Year blimp. I’ve been seeing it as I’m going home from work last week. I haven’t seen it in more than 30 years, or at least that is the last time I remember seeing it.

Unfortunately, JPuzzleWhiz…. when I did try them, those are the activities I tried them with…. walking, slow jogging, and riding a bike. For me, in all instances, the fanny pack proved to be unuseful and more of an annoyance. I am glad others may find them of benefit…. but I am not one of them.

When I worked for a car company, I got to go for a ride in the Goodyear blimp twice. It was a fun experience.

Geez! Most guys solve their Midlife Crises by going out and buying Porsches or finding willing blonde floozies with whom to fool around. But not Frank DeGroot. No sir, not he! Let’s do a Mud Run, he says! And his son is complicit!

This is so dull I wish Zebo was back.

The Spanish version is slightly different and it’s funny too. In the second panel Franks says “Y vestido para correr,” which means, “And dressed to run.” Then Nancy retorts with, “Dijiste para comer?” which means, “Did you say to eat?”

While this cartoon has gone into wonderfully thoughtful and intelligent, caring areas, this specific cartoon is sweet and merits special appreciation.

Thank your.

I think Frank’s wearing his old running attire from 25 years ago.

SPOILER ALERT

Brad tries for a man-to-man talk, but I still hope he has his CPR certification up to date…

Condoms.
