I remember the jogging craze…you were supposed to sort of bounce from foot to foot, not getting very far at each step. Somehow this was supposed to be better for you than running, and easier, etc. Only years later we started hearing about how hard it is on your joints and tendons, particularly the knees.
This comic is from when jogging first became a “thing”. I remember it well. There was even an article in Reader’s Digest that explained it to non-joggers.

If that was me, the wobble lines would be around my tummy.

Jogging will help you live longer….well, if you don’t drop dead of a heart attack or get hit by a bus while doing it.

Snoopy is actually streaking (well, being naked, he streaks pretty much everywhere he goes, including into battle with the Red Baron……..)

The 3rd frame looks like he’s doing his happy dance. Have a happy day, Snoopy!

When jogging first became a thing, I recall a newspaper article warning about the police assuming you were running from a crime.

You would never see me going for a jog or joining a Gym. Unless I was hiding from somebody. The Gym that is.xxx
