Send Peter to the store to buy groceries. My mom began sending me to the corner store when I was 7-8 yrs. old .. to buy cigarettes even! (she gave me a note, which made it cool with the store owner).
I had two teenage sons- the cheapest way to feed them was to take them to a buffet. They could put down four good sized plates of food easily, and have room for desert.
Few things are more frightening than a teen boy in front of the fridge. One of those few things is a guy who hasn’t figured out he’s not a teen boy anymore and who looks like Jabba the Hutt.
I think he needs to go to the doctor about his condition. It’s been established that he has such a high metabolism he can lose 2 pounds in a day if he doesn’t drink a special weight gaining smoothy, and he once spent over 12 hours eating pizza, which caused him to double his body weight, only to burn all of it away in less than 2 days. He might actually starve to death if he were to miss only 1 or 2 meals. He might have a brain tumor causing a growth hormone imbalance or something.
Peter’s not in school, so he could go with her to help carry the load back. Though of course she’d have to muzzle him… which is another advantage of a facemask, eh?

That’s the second biggest bowl I’ve ever seen!

Is he using a roasting pan as a bowl?

I would take Peter to see a doctor. It seems he either has a tapeworm or an alien growing inside of him.

Same old “Peter” arc, how about a little more originality especially for a once a week strip.

Interesting coincidence – this is the same recurring gag as yesterday’s Saturday rerun strip.

Peter eats a lot and he’s still super skinny.

Somehow hungry teenage boy jokes will NEVER grow old. That said, Amend has had the running gag of Peter’s appetite going back his whole life.

He is cutting back on the total number of bowls of cereal.

Looks like the amount of cereal my MOM eats, no lie.

I’m guessing that Peter is her eldest son. Otherwise Mom would know how teenage boy tend to eat and eat and eat…

This is a little late, since Bill Amend jumped out of sequence and I only found it this morning.
Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing:

To Peter, a tinnnnnny bit more would probably be one or two less cereal flakes.
