Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 11, 2021

Big Arnold had to be his own stunt double.

Super awesome!

Frazz should know that distance runners and swimmers don’t want to bulk up.

That’s been Jackie Chan’s philosophy!

For proof of this, you need only look at the Russian tennis star, Medvedev.

Actually I think this strip is really referring to Chris Hemsworth as he has gotten ridiculously jacked for not only the next Thor installment but also to play Hulk Hogan in an upcoming biopic.

Bad news: Robb Armstrong@ ‘Jump Start’ is censoring comments.

Good news:Real U- Massachusett’s Minuteman Reed Lebster is far more interesting than Red Lobster or Red Bull.

There’s cosmetic muscle and useful muscle. Then there’s also styrofoam, for which the many cinematic Batmen have been eternally grateful.

Exaggerated here for comic effect, I know, but big muscles are UG-LY!

I usually don’t mind when closed mouths are invisible in comics, but when there’s a beard around it, it looks awkward.

I recall how bulked up & buff Will Smith became to portray Muhammad Ali

Anyone else imagine the scene from the Avengers … “on your left”

Anybody here see “Pumping Iron II: The Women” (1985)?

Bev Francis, a world-champion powerlifter, enters a Women’s Bodybuilding competition. Although she’s by far the most muscular woman in the field, she doesn’t look “feminine” enough and finishes eighth.

Shades of Jackie Chan
