Heavy things are bad, yo

Sorry about the delayed entry today...Blogger was having problems when I tried to post earlier.

Anyway, on to today's strip. Poor Hekkie. He, like every other young person in the TDIET universe, looks like he's 75 when he's still in school. And then Scaduto had to age him!

There's yet more proof to be found that TDIET strips are actually relics from some other time. Another time, when teenagers used words like "Knapsack" (and is that even how you'd spell it?) and "bushed" and would say "Carryin' this thing is murder."

I barely have the energy to discuss the topic. Carrying backpack = pain, because there's no joy in having to bring home homework. Carrying golf bag = fun because golfing is fun. (Apparently.) It's really not that hard a concept. It's like how in gym in middle school, we had to run laps. And I had some friends that I'd run with and we'd whine the entire time. Then, in high school, they joined the track team. Being forced to do something makes it less fun. That's really all there is to it. (Though recreational running still sounds like torture to me.)

My big question is about the guy Hekkie is playing golf with. That's probably how I'd be, if I were out on the course. But I really don't think you'd see anyone behaving like that. I could be wrong. I avoid non-miniature golf.
