Interesting, but Not funny. Maybe it was funnier back in December of 1963. But today in June 2021 with weather in the mid 80’s not so much. But the “Yoga” thing from today’s (June 9 2021) B.C. was not funny either. Maybe I lost my funny??
The situation in the last panel is not an easy thing to illustrate. It’s worth admiring how deftly Johnny got the idea across with good conceptual setup in the first two panels (including that critical word “CHUNK”) and then a few well-chosen strokes of the pen in the third.

Well, as long as they come back up under you when you reach the other side of the ice, then, “No harm, no foul.”

I had water skis once. Sold them. Couldn’t find a lake on the side of a hill.
