"CARTOONIST'S NOTE: Today's Garfield strip is to be read only by fat people, or people with fat tendencies, you skinny ones can read the other strips, or jog, or drink a glass of water, or whatever it is skinny people do. ...I wouldn't know. Garfield: I am hereby declaring this coming week. "NATIONAL FAT WEEK". OUT OF THE CLOSET, YOU FATTIES! This week we're going to eat without guilt. Remember our slogan: "If it's not deep-fried, it's not worth eating." We'll boycott carrots and tell skinny jokes. I would have had a national convention. But I couldn't get the Kansas City stockyards to cater it.
