Max will never be swole
Panel from Slylock Fox, 12/11/22
There's a lot going on in this panel -- Max trying and failing to pump iron; how peevish the alligator gym attendent is about this crime; "Biceppe's"; the fact that Harry Ape is wearing a fedora to the gym -- and I love all of it. I also love the solution to the mystery, which plays on our idea that ape feet are really pretty hand-like, so it makes sense that they'd leave prints, but also lets us know that human toeprints could be used as evidence as well, so you'd better not be out there committing crimes barefoot. Anyway, it's really too bad for Harry that when the ascendent animals took over the wreckage of our civilization, they couldn't figure out our advanced "gloves, but for feet" technology.
