Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 21, 2016
Transcript:
Goat: What are you doing, Pig? Pig: Throwing away our watermelons. They weigh too much. Goat: I've concluded that the reason I weigh so much is that I eat food that weighs a lot. So from now on. I'm only gonna eat food that is light. Chips, donuts, and cotton candy. Pig: I'll be rail thin in no time.

Surprised my sister never tried this. But then her sense of dieting is just as questionable. Can’t really get three times as much as everyone else and claim you’re trying to loose weight then blame everyone else for it not happening. Or better still, take a cereal bowl and round it over with ice cream then eat it with a baby spoon and claim that means you’re eating less.

Seems to defy a law of physics that you can eat a pound of donuts and gain three pounds!

The interesting thing I find about modern weight issues is that there was once a time when society wanted to be over weight, it was a sign of wealth, status and meant you could generally (not always) live through the next famine better than the skinny person.

Today’s Spanish strip is pretty much word for word except for the very end. “Rail thin” doesn’t really translate effectively. The Spanish says “Sere’ delgado en un santiamen.” “I’ll be thin in a ‘santiamen.’” Think the last half of a Hail Mary at lightning speed: “Santa Maria bzbzbzbzb Amen.”

Makes me think of those 3 Musketeers commercials where the candy bars were floating to the ceiling, because of how “light” they were.

@Pig … more like: “I’ve been on a diet for two weeks and all I’ve lost is fourteen days.” ~Totie Fields :P

i don’t think donuts are light. beignets or croissants would be better. of course, the croissants would be coated in butter and jam….
