I love these comics ! <| sep |> No way that horse was over worked on the distance and time scale . 700 miles , 120 days and assuming 4 mph walking speed that averages across the trip less than 2 hours of riding a day at the horse ' s slowest speed . I think we can infer that he would ride longer than that and for a few days and then stop for a few days . It ' s possible that he kept it tied up short and didn ' t allow it to eat but I have a feeling the horse has a medical condition that ' s preventing it from keeping weight . <| sep |> Sorry about that ! I ' ll take this down <| sep |> interviewing someone Billy , what ' s the secret of your financial success ? YOU ' RE NOT MY REAL DAD ! <| sep |> I meant CoquelinRamsey . My bad . <| sep |> I mean even that ' s debatable . I was just saying he won because more than half of voters thought he should win .
