While sloths may spend a lot of time just hanging around and do not move real fast, they, surprisingly to most people, can actually move much faster than what this comic implies. Three-toed sloths have an average ground speed of just 6–8 ft per minute. That means that they actually can do 50 feet in less than 10 minutes. And in treetops, at 15 ft per minute, they could do 50 feet in less than 4 minutes.
When I was a kid, we lived for a time in Panama Canal Zone and we did have them. We kids were warned to stay away from them because if they DID claw you you were in danger of SEVERE infection from all the nasty stuff they carry.

That would be a Yes. We’ve got enough layabouts with the border being wide open and Covid scammers.

Must be a drag climbing down from the canopy to go to the bathroom. Probably why they don´t eat Tacos.

The Sloth spends too much time eating Italian spaghetti and singing falsetto.

How long did it take him to get to the gym, anyhow?

He must have realized that sitting in the trees all day canopy all there is to life.

Even in the list of the seven deadly sins, sloth comes in last place.
