I do not know anyone who is like this cartoon. I did have a grand parent who came close to this and was from IOWA. .....AT 66 I JOG 6 MILES PER WEEK AND VISIT THE GYM 3 TIMES A WEEK. I also feel like I am 30 versus 66. I guess the southern states have people like this because of their education or lack of staying busy .........SAD
