Typically, you have to run with contralateral, reciprocal movement. Right arm back, right leg forward. Left arm forward, left leg back, and vice-versa. That keeps your body’s balance and you don’t fall over. Connie and Elly, on the other hand, do the opposite of that in every single panel. They don’t need ice cream. They need someone to explain to them how to run.
There was Dave Berg cartoon in MAD Magazine showing a group of joggers all wearing ear buds to muffle the sounds of their gasping, panting, and accelerated heartbeats. Seems that ol’ Dave wasn’t a fan of exercising.
There are 3 places a half-mile from my house that I regularly walk to—Vons (with a Baskin-Robbins across the parking log), Rite-Aid (selling Thrifty ice cream), and my local hardware store (with a frozen yogurt shop next door). It’s a good thing I’m only walking to keep my aging joints functioning, because I’m replacing however many calories I might burn off.
This is an amazing future prediction. All this puff puffing around ice cream kind of reminds me of the new Gh0stbusters Frozen Empire movie with a cameo appearance by the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man!
Here we have Elly and Anthonyconniejohn having a conversation about pausing their run so they can treat themselves to some bad ice cream. They’re conversing in a foreign language where all the words are pronounced either “puff” or “wheeze”. I wonder if this is where the writers at Marvel Comics got their idea for Groot?

Do they carry money in their workout clothes? Do those clothes even have pockets? I know that’s a common complaint about women’s clothing.

Reminds me of The Wizard of Id
King hears tinkling
King: This is disgraceful. Bring the priest to me.
Priest is brought before court. King gives the priest a bag of money
Priest: Why thank you! What can we do for your generosity?
King: Get yourself a new church bell.
Priest: Indeed.
Tinkling is heard again
Priest: There is the ice cream man. May I thank you by treating you to an ice cream cone, Your Majesty?

Bought a tub of less chemicalled Orange Cream icecream recently – it tastes like children’s tylenol

It would be both funny and a touching memory if some ancient curse caused the Pattersons to be Farley-headed for the rest of the strip.

If they’re wheezing, sugary desserts are about the LAST thing they’d need, aside from a salt sandwich.
