Makes perfect sense

Wrong answer.

If you cannot button your coat, How do you get the rest of your clothes on?

Well, it is cheaper – and quicker, too!!

/SHMIRK/

The last time I couldn’t button my coat was when the buttons came off.

Next time buy double breasted. Then you have a choice…..

You need a whole new big and fat wardrobe.

I like that she is breaking the wall.

Getting a new one from a “Men’s clearance” store may be more cost effective.

I wonder why all his clothes are shrinking at the same time. It’s a clothing conspiracy!

Actually I have had that issue, and for the reason shown in panel 1. Losing weight will have the added benefit of feeling better, lowering BP and decreased chance of heart attack or stroke.

I wonder what Gladys really meant with what she said, since she looks like she has at least 50 pounds on her more than Brutus has.

Cheap suits shrink when dry cleaned Mr. Brutus. Fact Jack. You’re still slim and trim stud. Don’t listen to Glady’s, she’s just jealous. You still got it and more!

oh yeah, that’ll totally help… but it wouldn’t help if we change your diet though.

Maybe just leave the jacket open, and work on what and how much you eat, Brutus. Your health will thank you! We’d like you to stay around a while too!

He can get a new suit, reduce, or carry the jacket. I think most of us have had a moment like this, and it’s not a happy one. Clothes don’t lie.

So she gets to bust him on his weight, but God forbid a man ever say anything about his wife or girlfriend’s weight.

Precisely. Can’t try starting a diet between Halloween and New Year.That would just ruin the holiday season……

You KNOW Thornapple’s not going to the gym!

I was going with get a suit myself. If you can’t button the coat, the pants can’t be far behind.

Brutus must be pigging out on junk food because it’s unlikely he’s gaining weight on Gladys’ cooking.

Fix the problem, not the blame.

The best clothes for both sexes have wide seams, so they can be “adjusted” when need be.

You’re gonna need a bigger coat
