Bars and clubs are one place to meet men, but if you want to meet mostly naked men, the gym is a hell of a lot easier. Bill drops drum in and out of gyms throughout his strips, helping the character cultivate his thick, extremely muscled body – I suspect he’d tip the scales at over 300lbs if real. Well, we don’t actually see much cultivation going on. The gym is mostly just an occasion for wearing a different set of revealing clothing, called gear today, and having lots of naked sex.
Like real life perhaps.
The irony of the gym we all also know is that for some, the social life of the gym is more to the point than the exercise itself, voiced frequently by the gym staff in these panels. In that spirit, these gyms as an outputs of exclusively male experience, seems to lead to sex in the locker room as the only possible outcome at all times, no matter how good the intentions are.
Often with comic results.
