Better than the alternative!

it is – but mostly because of those around you, not because of age itself

I hate it when that happens.

This is grossing me out. Must have affected Bleeb too, he took a pass.

No Bleeb?

Yeah… I lost my what-cha-ma-jigger the other day. I had to dig around for it with no flashlight…

Ooowww!!! yes, a bummer, but the alternative is no fun either!!!

It’s a comic… and anything is possible in a comic.

So just bend down and re-arm yourself! Just don’t get it backwards… again!

That HAS to hurt

If you ask Unity over at Skin Horse, I bet she’ll teach you how to sew your arms back on using your feet. Or she might eat your head. Could go either way.

“A Farewell to Arms”

A truly unhelpful comment. At least she could lend a hand.

Lift with your legs dummy, your LEGS! Geesh!

Earlier he went to what he thought was a Zumba class.

It turns out that it was actually Zombie class.

Can anyone make out what his shirt says

This didn’t happen to me, but only because I gradually reduced the weights I use. At age 74, I lift half of what I did in my forties. A couple of minor injuries during my fifties convinced me of the wisdom of this approach.

Ouch!

Did Bleeb get squished by the weights?

Always harder to hold on with two left hands

Yikes! Worst case of tennis elbow ever

probly shoulda stuck with the soup cans…

Is there an Igor in the house?

OK, when we said you should do so stretching exercises first, that’s not what we meant.

So much for snap-on tools! Hang on Bleeb! I can hear the ambulance approaching now. MI-MAW-MI-MAW-MI-MAW!!!!!!!!! :)

a bit of armless fun

I’ll bet he won’t do that again!

Does he have a gym dismembership?

funny how nonchalant everyone else is about it… lol!

No sh*t!

Yuck! Who’s going to clean up this mess?

Need more calcium

Ouch.

Hey! He DOES have two left hands!! Or at least – he did…

guy’s got quite a grip there!!

I hope Bleep isn’t under the bar bell!
