Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for May 21, 2024

Who’s in the picture frame this time?

It’s either the woman across the way or that awful picture on the wall! Take your pick!

When I was a teen, we had a neighbor who mowed her lawn in sneakers, knee socks, and a very small bikini.

I did not complain (but no, she didn’t weigh 465……).

could be worse….It could have been a 465 pound man in hot panys….

I can see why Opus might consider that a crisis, but consider what he’s wearing.

Another weird phone call to the Iowa City Police Log.

Impressive that he knows her weight

It’s like a car accident! To avoid the visual crisis, DON’T LOOK!

If the situation , as described, can be confirmed, he National Fashion Institute is authorized to HALO drop Tim Gunn to resolve the crisis.

I am against fat shaming, or body shaming of any kind. Sometimes, however, a person’s self-image is so totally un-grounded in reality that one must wonder what they were thinking. E.g., I vividly recall an incident were a multi-hundred pound woman was wearing a tiny t-shirt that had “Hot Stuff” emblazoned across the front. …

Proportion being the operative word here.

When Opus said she was across the street, he meant she was across the street.
