Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 02, 2024

the gym offered him a bare bones membership

Well, it’s not like he’s got anything else to do.

Not a muscle to be seen.

That which doesn’t kill you…

He’s probably part of the skeleton crew of the R U Sirius. Certainly not a flabby fellow.

My knowledge of Day of the Dead is limited. Is that an appropriate greeting, or would it be like “Happy Good Friday” or “Happy Yom Kippur”?

Or is Booster just being polite? I’m not sure I’d try making small talk if I walked into the gym and found a skeleton working out.

From the looks of him, his body building plan hasn’t even started to work. On the other hand, his BMI (body mass index) is so low it must be off the charts.

Work your fingers to the bone

WHAT YA GET?

Boney Fingers, Boney Fingers

\\//_

I thought I had heard that skeleton never go to the gym because they had nobody to go with.

Party pooper

Wipe that equipment down you sweaty bag of bones

Well you need resistance exercise to keep your bones strong, too.

Now, now, Brewster. Don’t rattle him, he could go to pieces…

I didn’t think this strip had enough meat for me to comment on, but the commenters ahead of me all fleshed it out nicely.

He should take a milk bath

Dem bones, dem bones….

That guy(?) hit the gym after having been on hold for so long with the computer repair service.

He’s tired of everyone ribbing him about his physique.

But the diet sure worked, a little too well.

Reminds me of Jacques LaLean from the “Beetlejuice” TV series.

Not a muscle to be seen, but he sure slimmed down.

Duh!

I was already 6’ 2" when I was 16 and weighed 150, so yeah I was a bean pole. I started working out, lifting weights, eating as much as I could but never gained a pound or muscled up. All I did was what I called at the time was “look tight” after six months. Nowadays they call it “ripped”. Being young and inexperienced in these matters I didn’t realize the girls loved the look just as much as a guy muscled up. So I quit. Twenty years later after being a bit more experienced in the world, I tried again but never could get the same look…mainly cause it was a lot of work and time and I just didn’t have the time. Plus by my 40’s I’d filled out a bit more and never had a problem getting a date anyway.

Halloween, day of the dead and election day all within a week.

That’s an unusual way to deadlift

after a good workout he’ll be bone tired…

Firming up the old ectoplasm.

Dia de Los muertos.

Is he wearing a cup?
