Look, it's just you and me, right? That chocolate cake is going to be stale tomorrow.. I don't think food should be wasted.. So what do you say you and I go into that kitchen and do the right thing? Well, I guess just this one time it wouldn't hurt anything, Nate. And soon after the security tape was viewed, the new policy of always having two diet pilots patrolling went into a fact.

The new policy, unfortunately, put a great strain on the members of the RAF who, as a result of the 2 pilot rule, were forced to double their flight hours. This led to fatigued pilots, and after several landing accidents, they finally banded together to form a pilot’s union. Soon after, their demands for overtime pay increased the cost of diet enforcement beyond Nate’s budget. Rising fuel costs also added to the expense, and the RAF was eventually let go and were replaced by Amazon drones which, to Nate’s detriment, delivered food to his lap within 2 hours of ordering.

If one is on a diet, WHY is there chocolate cake in the fridge anyway? You would not have to lock the fridge and have a diet patrol if the fridge contained only the good stuff. You can still use the diet patrol; when Nate is off the ship the diet squad can torment him then

Nate is not the only person eating out of the fridge on the ship. The rest of the crew don’t seem to have a weight problem, so why should they be put on a diet just because Nate has no will power?

I love this cartoonist. The dogs and mice make me smile even on really glum days. I hope Mr. Dunham realizes how much fun he adds to our lives. Simple, yet pithy.

Diet pilots are crack shots with rubber bullets… but not trained to resist the power of human rationalizing.

Kind of like the old joke that you should always bring 2 Mormons with you when you go fishing, because if you only bring 1 he’ll drink all your beer?
