Exercising would be a lot easier if you didn’t have to put any effort into it.

Our artist friend Debbie Adams gave Fraz a lifeguard station so that he can keep a watch over the beach at his beach house and make sure everyone stays safe. Deb’s original Lifeguard Fraz post can be seen on her art blog.
on Senior Citizen: “The problem is all the extra expenses you have when you’re older! Not that I’m older.” Jul 9, 14:08
on Senior Citizen: “Now that you are getting the senior discount, just think of all of the money you will be saving!” Jul 9, 11:13
on Leftovers: “Wait, that may be the most logical thought I have ever heard Fraz express!” Jul 8, 15:35
on Leftovers: “Bwahahahahahahaha. Makes perfect sense to me. Have a fabulous day and week, my friend. 🙂” Jul 6, 11:50
So that’s what I’ve been doing wrong doh!
On Yer Bike Loon 😉 lmao xxxx
According to Binky. I don’t know if I believe him, though.
Another bit of wisdom: You don’t save money by spending money. So, when the chocolate store says you can save 5 dollars by purchasing an extra five pounds, it’s not true. Pound for pound you may have saved but you had to spend an extra 20 dollars. It’s not really savings but something tells me that no price is too great for Wombies when the item is chocolate.
You got that right Dave 🙂 lol
There’s a sale on chocolate?! Where? I need to get some!
There’s always a sale on chocolate some where. You just have to keep your eyes peeled.
I do! But I didn’t want to miss the sale you were talking about!
I remember when WalMart was selling giant sized Hershey bars that were as big as a small surfing board. If I saw that candy bay now it would make me want to say……Murica 😉
I think that would just make me drool with envy!
Yes I see what you mean Binky, I have the same problem with mine. I guess Winky and I have a lot more in common than what we first thought, and eating chocolates and wine gums without getting anywhere on our exercise bikes are just part of it 🙂
It’s a lot more fun to eat chocolate than to use an exercise bike. Maybe if the bike gave out chocolates as I rode it, I’d use it.
Maybe Binky can help 🙂
I’ll ask him to work on it! A chocolate exercise bike could be a big seller!
This is brilliant Peter 🙂
I wonder if Binky will be back to offer Winky more of his wisdom? Mind you if he did, would Winky appreciate it, or just eat more chocolate 🙂
I think Winky wouldn’t mind some chocolate wisdom, especially if he could eat it.
This is a cool Lifeguard Station by our sweet friend Deb, and Fraz looks perfectly happy making sure that everyone on the beach is safe 🙂 Well done Deb xxxx
It’s the best lifeguard station anywhere!
I agree Fraz, it is fangtastic 🙂
It is! I really like being on the beach!
Exercise WOULD be a lot easier if you didn’t have to put time into it, I agree!! 🙂
Exercise should be more like eating. Then I wouldn’t mind putting time into it!
I had a bike that worked just like that, Winky!
I think most exercise bikes are like that!
You always do such a great job! Winky expression in the last panel if awesome!
Thanks, Deb.
Your welcome, Peter!
Thank you for posting Fraz the Lifeguard, Peter!
I made him post it!
Well thank you, Fraz! You’ve earning a triple, triple chocolate milkshake!
Yay! They’re my favorite!
Mine too, I hope there is enough for me? 🙂
Sure there is! As long as you don’t get here too late!
Are exercise bike makes a great clothes line for items that need to be ironed.
If I had any clothes, that’s what I’d use my bike for!
I had an exercise bike too, Winky, all that efffffort and it didn’t get me anywhere… 🙂 xPenx
My exercise bike never goes anywhere, either. No matter how fast I pedal!
I didn’t think you would use it much, too many chocolates to munch instead 🙂
Well, I don’t really use it much. But I did try it a couple of times.
We need to try it out again soon, both of us 🙂 In the meantime have some of these scrummy chocolate eggs and a handful of my wine gums, extra juicy of course, I know you like big flavours Winky 🙂
I do! While I’m eating, you can use my exercise bike if you want to. I wasn’t really going to use it today. Or tomorrow. Or the next day. . .
Usually they just end up as extensions of a clothes hanger. 🙂
Maybe I could use mine as a Christmas light hanger!
Bwahahahahahahahaha. Well duh. Dust collector if you ask me.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
It’d be a lot better if it could collect chocolate!
If only they had a “excersise for you” bike!
That’s what I need! Maybe I can get Bink to put a motor on it.
So THAT’S how it works! :OP
Yeah. Kind of disappointing, really. I think having an exercise bike should be enough to lose weight.
I would always stretch in the mornings and evenings. That all changed with the first born… I gotta get back into it.
Exercising should be a lot easier than it is. More like eating chocolate! Then nobody would have a problem with it.
Deb great you saved homless Winky on the beach.. we all feel safer now… I removed all the cloths off my exercise bike this evening but can’t find the chocolate box anywhere.. I guess I’ll continue exercising while asleep tonight as always.. never harmed me before..
Maybe I could put my exercise bike on the beach and ride it while I eat chocolate. I’ve never tried exercising while I sleep but it might be more fun that way!
Make sure the tide is going out first though as it’s difficult pedalling a bike under the water 🙁
I didn’t think of that. I wouldn’t want to drown riding my bike! Maybe I should get an exercise boat instead.
Oh Winky…I know…I know…it’s so frustrating when “they” tell you about exercise machines and all….you’d think that looking at one might help 🙁
And WHY is it that the thought of doing exercise makes me feel SO tired but 1/2 way through it, I feel so much better…wish there was a way to magically go from before to after exercising without actually doing the exercise…hehe.
Twisted illogical thing I know…but Winky…you get it, don’t you?
You’re a genius, Shree! I’d love to exercise without exercising! Who wouldn’t? Maybe you could start a non-exercising exercising gym! I’d go!
A catch yes. And a small seat that’s about to cause you considerable pain!
If they expect me to ride the bike, it should have a lounge chair seat!
I use mine to hang clothes
Maybe I should buy some clothes, then.
I have noticed that most of you wombies walk around without any clothes. Not that I was staring.
We have built-in all season fur coats! I think it’s a lot better than clothes!
Moving it out of the house can be exercise. 🙂
That sounds like too much work!
This sounds a bit familiar.
I think all exercise bikes are like mine. Useless!
I saw an ad that said “LOSE WEIGHT BY EATING”. I have been eating and eating and have not lost any weight…
I need to try harder!
I want to try that diet! I eat more than almost anyone!
But I thought technology was supposed to be labour saving??? I like the way they stare each other out in the 2nd panel then Bionky just walks off.
Errr… I meant Binky. I don’t know who Bionky is. Maybe a bionic Binky.
Or a wombie relative of Beyonce
Bionic Binky?? Now I’m scared!
Thanks, Tony. It’s a technique/setup I probably use a little too much, but it generally works.
That’s one awesome beach hangout Fraz. Austie Deb sure keeps you well looked after. I think you are her favourite
Oops, Auntie Deb. I must be having a bad typing day. You need the Ajax edit comments plugin that I use
I did have another comment editing plugin a long time ago, but it seemed to cause excessive server load and I’m already using more resources than I should be a much of the time. I do like that feature, though.
Aunt Deb does like me best!
Your her favorite Nephew!…and I’m her youngest, so I’m special too!
I hope that means we can get out of going to school every day!
Shoot, where’s the on and when do I have to come back and check on it? 🙂
You have an automatic bike exerciser? I need one of those!
LOL so that’s what you have to do ..use them..well I’m selling mine then 😉
Sell it and buy more chocolate! That’s a great idea!
I like your style Winky 🙂
I didn’t know I had any!
I totally know how you feel Wink!!
I wish we can all have exercise bike that can make us lose kilograms of fat without having to use it
That would be great! I told Binky he should invent something like that, but I don’t think he knows how to do it.
Maybe you should push him more. He can create rocket, he should be able to create this too 😉
Yeah, I know! This is important! I’ll see if I can bug Binky enough so that he’ll make some sort of automatic exerciser bike.
I want to be a lifeguard too, Fraz. Will you teach me how to swim?
Sure! But I think we’ll have to wait until it’s warmer!
I was wondering why I haven’t had much luck with mine either…I guess it’s not suppose to be a coat rack.
Exercise bikes really don’t work very well for most people. They should have automatic versions for us.
You have always got to check that fine print.
I guess I should, but I never do!
Sweat? What’s that?
I don’t know, but sweets are much better!
Allez/ come on Winky! You can do it.
Or… you could eat cookies instead.
I think I like your cookie eating idea a whole lot better!
