Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for July 30, 2014

Ouch! Bud’s taking inordinate pleasure at Betty’s fitness efforts! Payback for budgeting week, I guess…

Actually his name is “Bub”, not Bud.

His full name is “Bub Slug”, although I don’t think that has ever been revealed here officially…

I know that because I was a reader of “Bub Slug” when he was a comic feature, before Betty, in the late ’70s.

Ain’t the internet wonderful?

QUOTE (wikipedia):Creators Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen first collaborated on the comic strip “Bub Slug” in 1976. The character of Betty appeared in the strip, but was not seen regularly until 1985, when the Edmonton Journal began running a full-page weekly comic version of “Bub Slug.” “Betty” became a stand-alone strip in 1991.

Much more of this, and she’ll be showing hubby “Kicking the Jujubes”.

Aerobic tossing and turning on the sofa.

Here, we call it “running in place.”

Next one is, “burying your husband because he never exercised”

Whatever.
