Did you make that cartoon?

A lot of "hard gainers" in bodybuilding would enjoy that.

All the best with your goals.

Where is Nelson in relation to Victoria, BC?

Or is it on the mainland closer to Vancouver?

Have a great day!

Not a lot of food there?

Seems like a tonne of food to me when I'm eating it!
Nelson is southern BC on the mainland but closer to the Alberta border...about 9 hrs from Vancouver.
I make a lot of Stix cartoons... often relating to my bodybuilding...there will be more posted...
