Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 13, 2010
Transcript:
Joe Pyle: Dang... None of my slacks fit anymore. Danae: How'd that happen, Daddy? Joe: I wore sweatpants all winter, so I didn't realize just how bad my eating habits had become. Danae: Well, that validates my theory. Kate: What theory? Danae: Sweatpants make you fat. Kate: Of course. It's so obvious now...

Doesn’t GoComics have a filter for this stuff?

The truth is, its the slacks that make you fat.
Because the sweatpants always fit, while the slacks don’t.
That’s a more “comfortable” theory, isn’t it?

Thanks everyone for flagging that SOB spammer… by the time I’m logging on he’s banished!

Wow, I thought sweatpants made you thinner, I wear mine and can eat all the doughnuts I want. Jeans on the other hand… they make you gain weight.

It’s fine to wear sweat pants in the winter as long as you work up a sweat every so often.
Good Morning, Doggsniff

I gave 3 pairs of short to Goodwill this week. My wife had improperly stored them in the bottom of the drawer. They must have shrunk due to lack of sunlight.. Any other theories?
freeholder1 over 14 years ago
Give it to the Salvation Army. G. is now a corporate shill for insurance companies giving comp victims a place to be “rehabed” so the Insurance can claim they’re well enough to actually work. Nothing but an overpriced dollar store these days.
freeholder1 over 14 years ago
Do sweat pants explain the fat in my head some days? Maybe I shouldn’t use them as hats?
JanLC over 14 years ago
freeholder1 - even worse, Goodwill doesn’t want your “repairable discards” anymore. They only want stuff they can resell immediately. I know this from first-hand experience - they wouldn’t take anything that needed repair. Salvation Army at least will sort through and make use of anything you send them. What they can’t sell right away gets sold in bulk to companies that can reuse the materials. They are also an authorized electronic waste disposal site, so you can give them your old phones, printers, computers, TV’s, etc. And finally, the sorting centers are the “work” part of their 6-month live-in drug & alcohol rehab program which has a very high success rate.

I prefer blaming the creepy Burger King guy personally.
cleokaya over 14 years ago
I have never liked sweat pants, maybe that explains why I am of a normal weight.
coot31 over 14 years ago
Sweat pants make you fat, airports cause fog, mobile home parks cause tornados, and proximity to oil refineries cause locally higher fuel prices. Danae continues to confirm my logic.
kfaatz925 over 14 years ago
I don’t know which is better today - the strip or the comments. Glad to have missed the spammer, thanks to everybody’s vigilance. (flaghide… heh heh heh… ;) ) And I agree with the theory that sweatpants actually make you thin since clearly you can eat whatever you want while wearing them. There is no better trapped-inside-with-baked-goods-during-blizzard wear.
freeholder1 over 14 years ago
And, in sweats, we’ll likely find no one wants to scale us either.
freeholder1 over 14 years ago
Thanks for the agreement, Jan. goodwill hasn’t been the same since Gofer got elected and left the board of directors.
Ernest Lemmingway over 14 years ago
Kids make you gain weight, especially if you’re Danae’s parent.
runar over 14 years ago
The only thing worse than the spammer is all the comments about the spammer. I feel like flagging all the comments that mention it without having anything to do with the cartoon.
Danae is showing an excellent example of post hoc, ergo propter hoc thinking. It’s something a lot of people fall into, especially in politics, when nutcases warn about the imaginary consequences of legislation they oppose when it hasn’t even been passed.
Wildmustang1262 over 14 years ago
Joe looked good to me but all of his slacks were too big for him to fit in. The girls brought up about gaining the weight to be a fat. HUH?!
Trebor39 over 14 years ago
You can alway buy bigger pants.

“…Danae is showing an excellent example of post hoc, ergo propter hoc thinking. It’s something a lot of people fall into, especially in politics, when nutcases warn about the imaginary consequences of legislation they oppose when it hasn’t even been passed…”
eh, too many big words, just sign me up for one of the new death panels they just created…
runar over 14 years ago
treered, I needed something to say about the strip so I wouldn’t have to flag my own comment (It’s all true, by the way - and the death panels are in the insurance company boardrooms).
lewisbower over 14 years ago
Thanks for the info about Goodwill. I had heard it years ago and thought it false. I do believe in the Salvation Army. They have straightened out many a friend.

Or you can get dress sweatpants.
