The third page shows her conversing with another member of the gym, a slim girl who doesn't like heavy workouts (and apparently doesn't much like to see Our Heroine do so either). She makes a remark that's meant to be cutting (maybe a sneer about how she's "ruining her looks" with "all those ugly muscles"?), but the buff chick sloughs it off and responds with a comeback of her own. Then we see the bodybuilder babe checking herself out in a mirror as she flexes her biceps; Snide 'n' Skinny gawks as she watches her muscles explode, but Biceps Girl evaluates herself a little more critically: maybe she should get her arms even bigger?
