I just love Spankling's latest CC entry, I told him I wish there were more overweight characters so I could make more strips making fun of the typical American diet. First...here's my nod to Spankling...then a few of my strips on the same vein...

Oh, there's more...christ, i'm a shallow prick.

Awesome.

An big improvement on what I did, particularly "How About A Nice Sausage?".

But let me go on record as saying that I believe properly positioned body fat to be quite appealing.

as a fat person, i couldn't just stand idly by. mostly because it hurts to stand.

Very good comic. Yes, I know I'm being insensitive. I acknowledged that I'm being a shallow prick.

Unfortunately, I've become just like ex-smokers who pontificate about how unhealthy, stinky, and inconsiderate smoking is. Or maybe I'm more like a death row inmate who finds Jesus and now wants to spread the gospel.

This comic explains my perspective...

I wanted to do one.

I'm not the only one who sings to his food, am I?

Wow! It's as if you're funny or something!

Perhaps it's the fact that I'm well on the road to obesity myself, but I didn't find any of these comics funny.

(Except kaufman's -- his punchline was rather unexpected.)

It's weird, too. I really don't think I'm the overly sensitive type.

Thanks again, Spankling. Oh, and I forgot to compliment Kaufman and mmyers--nice work.

And Flickguy--I knew there would be a backlash against these strips and/or me when I posted this thread. I thought more than twice about doing it since I have a fairly good reputation among the regulars and for the most part have no idea what they look like.

My motivation in these strips is not to hurt feelings. Most of the strips revolve around the choices people make about their eating habits and activity, which should have no bearing on any genetic predispositions (but I also recognize that some strips are just cheap shots like Total Eclipse of the Porch).

But if someone finds them unfunny simply because they find them unfunny--that's fine too.

(Holy moses! It just dawned on me that the last "lash-out" I had was also on a thread you started, Choadwarrior.)

I'm sorry. It didn't even occur to me.

Please don't take it to mean I don't find your strips funny -- quite the contrary, in fact.

These are all going to be cheap shots, so I apologize in advance.
