The muscular system is the most important system in our human body, making up more than half our weight. To keep them in shape, you must exercise, or else fat will take over.
Tropes:
- Adaptational Heroism: The Comic-Book Adaptation ends as Le Teigneux and Le Nabot befriend Pierrot and Jumbo after they have some of Pierrette's homemade candies.
- Big Eater: Jumbo. Pierrot lampshades it by stating that he always carries some food in his hand.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Upon seeing how unhealthy Le Teigneux and Le Nabot are, Pierrot and Jumbo challenge them to a basketball game. Pierrot and Jumbo easily beat Teigneux and Nabot 43-1, or 43-6 in the Comic-Book Adaptation.
- Disease-Prevention Aesop: This episode demonstrates the importance of getting plenty of physical exercise.
- Everyone Laughs Ending: The episode ends with Pierrot and Jumbo laughing as Le Teigneux and Le Nabot run off, being once bitten, twice shy.
- Injured Limb Episode: Towards the end of this episode, Jumbo sprains his ankle, forcing him to be bedridden for a few weeks. In the meantime, he gains weight as a result of overeating combined with a lack of exercise.
- Temporary Bulk Change: Jumbo goes through this more than once, getting skinny and fat and skinny again throughout the episode, depending on whether he gets exercise or a lack thereof.
