I have painstakingly compiled a list of all the In The Bleachers comics that feature running or track and field jokes. I hope you enjoy the humor!
From August 13, 1996 to October 9, 2011
UPDATED 04/16/2012: Now through March 28, 2012
UPDATED 07/27/2013: Now through July 16, 2013
Steve Moore creates a new comic nearly every day of the year, pretty impressive for a career spanning over 15 years. There are some repeats and recolors of the same comic, but given the subject matter I think that’s acceptable. Enjoy!
