This is a new category that I will post a quick sketch to every so often.
I used to be pretty good about going to the gym on a regular basis. I, unfortunately, was in a fender bender about nine months ago and only recently have been able to resume working out. They say muscle has a memory, but I am here to testify that fat has an even better memory! Fat never, ever forgets.
After a long absence, going back to the gym is pretty entertaining. Sure some good worked out eye candy is always nice but at my gym today, there seemed to be an extremely large bounty of unusual shapes.
A fifty something, 5'2" gentleman caught my eye this afternoon. He was nearly as big around as he was tall and he was wearing a half shirt. Yes, a half shirt. He has body confidence the likes of which I certainly don't. I should say he wasn't just wearing it, he was working it. I stared as long as I could without being too obviously then I texted a friend who also goes to my gym. I described the guy and my pal said he's always there and bares a strong resemblance to a Weeble Wobble. Remember those toys? Weebles Wobble but they don't fall down.
There were plenty of other fun shapes I saw. I will be drawing them soon. Stay tuned.......

Oh! This is a category I'm looking so forward to!
Love you site!

Oh thank you thank you I love the stories so much! You are so talented. Your cartoons really capture those special traits of the Real Housewives and what you've seen recently at the gym cracked me up. I am so happy I found your site. You are clearly a genius!!

You're right. The NY Real Housewives is painful to watch. You would have to switch to something stronger than wine to endure this pain.
I think you might want to switch to The Hills and focus on Lauren and her escapades.I'm sure you could do justice to some of the other characters also.
Thanks for the laughs!
