For a second there I thought the joke was, “Can I tie your shoes?” because with untied shoelaces, Becky wouldn’t be jumping very high or running very fast for long.
That would have been a funnier joke. Just my opinion.
It is possible for Madison Avenue to be too successful. Such as those Nike commercials with Michael Jordan. It was such a hit, kids would kill to get the shoes.
I remember when the Reebok Pump was all the rage. My mother had a better idea: “Reeboks are a fad. Wait a while and see. When I was a kid Beatle sneakers were all the rage. Today people would laugh at you!”

For the longest time no one has asked me if I can run fast in my new shoes. Being an adult is stoopid!

I always had Keds as a kid but remember feeling I’d be a better athlete with PF. Flyers because of their “Run faster/Jump higher” ads at the time.

Or this for tomorrow’s strip:
April: How high can you jump, Becky?
Becky: I can jump this high with these shoes!
April: Yeah, right!
Becky: Right! See this!
CRASH!
Final panel shows debris and a busted ceiling. Teacher looks in shock as Becky’s legs are dangling
April: Wow, those shoes really do work!

Today’s strip instantly carried me back to my childhood and the moment I had to show my parents how much faster I could run with my new tennis shoes!

After trying Becky’s shoes on, hopefully April doesn’t go looking for a Candle Stick.

If I could be you, if you could be me
For just one hour
If we could find a way
To get inside each other’s mind, uh huh
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead of your ego
I believe you’d be, I believe you’d be
Surprised to see
That you’ve been blind, uh huh
Walk a mile in my shoes
Just walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Now, if we spend the day
Throwing stones at one another
‘Cause I don’t think, ‘cause I don’t think
Or wear my hair same way you do, uh huh
Well, I may be common people
But I’m your brother
And when you strike out through tryna hurt me
It’s hurtin’ you, Lord have mercy
Walk a mile in my shoes
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Now, there are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And brother, there
But for the grace of God
Go you and I, uh huh
Uh, if I only had the wings
Of a little angel
Don’t you know I’d fly
To the top of the mountain
And then I’d cry, cry, cry
Walk a mile in my shoes
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
