Pickles by Brian Crane for February 11, 2018

Uh… don’t you mean, Opal, IF the doctor tells you to lose weight?

Out of all the comics I enjoy reading every day, Pickles is the one that actually makes me laugh out loud, not LOL, actually laugh out loud. Thank you, Mr. Crane.

He won’t have to tell her. When she reads the office visit paperwork it will say “overweight” or “obese”.

Opal, I fixed the leaky faucet. There!, that’s the face you want to give to the Dr.

I still find it amusing that when a doctor tells anyone overweight that they need to lose weight, it is like we don’t already know. We pretty much know we have extra pounds, thank you very much.

My doctor is quite overweight himself, so he says it isn’t his place to tell someone to lose weight – unless their weight is dangerously high. He just tells what the experts say you should weigh, then gives advice on how to remain healthy, whether you lose weight or not. (He also doesn’t tell underweight people to gain weight, unless their weight is dangerously low.)

You’ll want to avoid that “stroke” one.

Losing weight doesn’t make you live forever.

Just sayin’
