Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 18, 2020

Aaaaaaaarrrrrhhhh!! My eyes! My eyes!

Yes Aunty please go find a robe.

In a way, cheese fries have more to offer than some people!

I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you: from what I’ve observed on beaches, 9 out of 10 people love cheese fries more than people. . .

Weight discrimination: it does exist. People tend to think more negatively of fat people then they do “regular” people.

Then there is the fashion industry – I have no idea who runs that, but they think that emaciated is the look women should have. I’ve seen my wife’s clothing catalogue, they do show women with a few pounds on them only because they combine “big” with “tall.” Regular catalogs tend to show only “beautiful people.”

Weight discrimination is a later part of the 20th century phenomenon for America. If you look at the pin-up girls from the 1940’s, them gals had “some meat on their bones.”

Also it’s cultural. My step-niece spent some time working with pygmies. They pitied her because she was too “ugly” to get a man to marry her. She’s white, she’s tall (even by western standards) and she’s too skinny (not that she thinks so).

“Earth Goddesses” from ancient cultures are depicted as being rather rotund.

The bottom line is, “Do you like yourself?” not “What do other people think of me?” Pay attention to health issues and see a doctor if you have to, but in my book, don’t worry about dress size. Be who you are. People like that are just more fun to be around.

Cheese fries rarely disappoint.

Oh to be Rubenesque… and still accepted. It’s all in how you feel about yourself, Aunty.

Auntie, think of the science. Heat makes things expand therefore you are HOT.

That ain’t just cheese fries we’re lookin’ at, Aunty… ☺

I’M BLIND! Cheese fries in the belly and cottage cheese … AAUUGGH!

Everyone at the beach has a hot body. That’s why we go in the water — to cool off.

Gravity sucks.

Get thee to a nunnery, and cover up the body.

Sometimes these comics should come with viewer warning, before the comic is shown. WARNING: If you’re eating right now, you may want to pass for now.

And why wouldn’t you?!?…. You can always Count cheese fries and besides, it’s not your job to accede to societal standards for beauty. Your body is YOURS-

I wish they wouldn’t keep showing that picture of me.

And here I thought only guys had “chest of drawers” (where your chest falls down to your drawers) problems :-)

I resemble that remark.

“I want to be cremated when I die, that will by my last chance to have a smokin’ hot body!” I don’t know who said that but I like it!
