Weeelllllllll, John, I thought you really had stuck âyour size twelveâsâ in it yesterday but today you have really outdone yourself ! ! I donât blame Ellie for divorcing you ! I used to stand up for you but you really are a offensive lout !
When as a society are we going to look at anyone else and say âHey thereâs an adult that is having fun with their kids in the waterâ not âOMG that person is FATâ? I have to agree with John on this one. Better to just be happy then constantly worry about the view in the mirror.
Sad but my ex-husband would have likely said something as anal as Johnâs comment!! Note the key word âexâ husband!!âŠlol Yep!! He would have said it!!
Lynnâs Notes:I actually thought I was overweight when I drew this. I thought the bulge I drew on my tummy was enormous. It amazes me now to think that I saw myself as unattractive. On the other hand, a little ego bruising at the time was a good thing!
I hate swimsuit season when it comes to this comic, Lynn just doesnât draw Ellie right. And if Ellie was so self-conscious about her weight, how come she didnât just exercise like Connie does. Ellieâs self-esteem was the only reason why she didnât exercise until all the kids, but April was gone.
When we were first married, my husband said something to the effect that he would never marry a fat woman. I wasnât fat â 5â5" and 129 lbs. He was a very svelte 117 lbs. at 5â8". Now Iâm 105 lbs. as a function of previously undiagnosed food sensitivities, and heâs, like, 175 lbs.+. No more talk from him about fatness.
Go out and buy yourself one of those swim suits with all the bells and whistles on it. They will squeeze those rolls someplace else. Just ask Cathy : )
Ellyâs problem is that itâs the 1980s, when important self-esteem-boosting info for this problem wasnât readily available on Internet. Get a load of the selfie galley of this correspondent of mine: http://seductivebyatch.deviantart.com/gallery/61790
The funny thing is, todayâs âZitsâ shows Jeremy responding to his Mom about her looks. Heâs busy texting while she is sighing and saying âanother wrinkleâ. While sheâs basically asking him if she looks awful, we see his perspective on her when he looks up from his phone and what he sees is Yoda (a real wrinkly character). Yet his response to his Mom is âYou look like you could be in moviesâ, and that leaves her happy and smiling, telling him heâs sweet.-Sometimes teens can teach their old dads a thing or twoâŠ.
Elly has told John point blank, âyou are getting fatâ and grabbed his love handles. It is hypocritical of Elly to then expect John not to tell it like it is with her gut.
As the great man of wisdom, Hank Hill, said: That is what they call a loaded question. No matter how I answer there is a bullet in every chamber designed to blow my brains out.
What men donât understand is that in such situations the worst thing to do is talk. Just give her a few sexy kisses and sheâll stop wining. Thatâs how my man does it every time, and thatâs really all we want! :-)

A wife with a bathing suit on that is too small for her is to be avoided at all costs, thinks John as he is underneath a well-thrown pillow⊠;)

If that hole gets any deeper and wider, guess who will be buried in it? Grow a brain John.

. She wants to hear, âYouâre always beautiful to me dear.â

Honesty about a bathing suit thatâs too small? Never a good idea!

Amazing that a man whose career is putting his hands in the mouths of others is so good at putting his foot in his own mouth.

WHEN will John learn to just zip up that mouth and say NOTHING!? He must really love that sofa. He spends a lot of time there.
Karen SERNA Premium Member almost 11 years ago
He is lucky that was the only thing she hit him withâŠ..

Try fullbodied and healthy. Also, she needs to not slouch.

Not chunky, just a little fluffy.

Reading these older strips and knowing itâs loosely based on Lynnâs real life, I find it rather understandable why they ended up getting divorced.

If she would just stand up straight, sheâd look like she lost 10 lbs.!

All you gotta say, John, is âYou look great!â

My honey would say something like âYou know I think youâre sexy but if you donât like something, change it.â

It gives new meaning to the phrase, âYou canât handle the truth!â

All Elly needs to do is change her posture and quit slouching.

Ellie loves Claire and she will run away with her just like John will run away with Ted.

Fortunately, my wife knows her shortcomings when it comes to swimwear and doesnât ask for my opinion. A lot safer for both of us that way.
