I miss my metabolism from when I was younger. I could eat and eat and eat and I wouldn't gain a pound. Nowadays I eat and eat and eat and just grow larger. Good thing I bike everywhere to balance it out a bit.
I miss the way I used to be able to eat anything, anytime. Three course meal when I'd just woken up? No problem! Nowadays anything bigger than a cup of coffee and some muesli in the mornings is more than I can handle…
The word 'punk' is pretty old, actually, e.g. Shakespeare used it in Measure for Measure as a term for a prostitute. Nowadays it's used as a pejorative term for inexperienced people (man könnte es mit Depp übersetzen ;).
The term 'punk-rock' was then used as a self-ironic description of the music.
You totally described my life. Always the last one away from the table as a kid (Middle child of 7), skinny as a rail back then, and now… I seem to barely eat anything and weigh a ton! Stupid metabolism up and quit on me around puberty.
I remember eating a whole roasted chicken from the store once.. I feel like I could still do that, but the results would not be as happy. I never weighed more than 175 until I hit 21, then "Ba-BoW" everything I ate went straight to my stomach.. er.. then stayed there.
omp this has been happening to me for a wile now sort of like month to month it becomes less and less amounts of food that im able to handle(i really notice this wen going to resturants), i too used to be able to eat truck loads of food, and now, ugh so sad i just aint the gurgatator i used to be, but im only 20! :O 🙁 but thats alrite at least i still have a great sense of taste 😀 by that i mean i can tell the diffs. in food that most other ppl cant ^,^
I used to be able to out-eat every man in my family (and I was a little girl!). Now I'm in college and I can't eat nearly as much, but I have to gorge til I'm sick to keep my weight up for some reason. Pretty sure it's not a worm, but my doctor still can't figure it out lol
The grass is always greener. It's very expensive to quell the massive hungering beast within. Sometimes I wish I could just cut out the middleman and just feed it coin.
My buddy’s little girl is borderline disturbing with this. She can eat more than four adults put together. Six or seven helpings isn’t unusual for her. It’s… well, it’s creepy.
Sometimes I’m a human vacuum cleaner, other times I take about 7 small bites of something and then feel like an unpinned grenade. Kind of depends on what I’m currently eating, how much I’ve eaten in the last hour or two, and (as far as I can guess) whether the number of seconds since the last full moon is prime or composite.
Lucky for me I can still eat a ton of food and not gain weight 😛
Sure, rub it in 😉
enjoy it wile u can sir, it doesnt stick with most ppl later on in life 😮
I use to say that, now i have diabetes!
I have Crohn’s.
I’ll be this skinny for life!*
*win?
As someone who shares your affliction, I’d probably call it a draw.
"this is weird, right?" I right! Although I used to have a black hole in my belly too, I never thought of making light try to do that 🙂

I strongly advise a bad case of PMS. It really can feel like a little black hole in your belly and the gorging can begin again :-).
Ice cream always induces a good case of gorging.

Great comic, Adam, once again 😀
well im 17 now, still eating like a black hole… made me tall as hell^^
by the way can someone explain me that Punk `insult´. I am a Punk from Germany and would´t really regard that as insulting….

its a way of saying he isnt wimping out, like he has the guts to take it all the way *no pun intended*
Black hole in your belly? Isn't that called the belly-button?
I doubt eating more has anything to do with getting bigger.
it has alot to do with getting bigger o<O
The second panel made me giggle a lot. 🙂
If you don't want me to eat something, don't put __ at mouth level.
So I'm a grammar Nazi… just sayin'.
Oops! Forget the word "it". Good catch. Will fix.
Oh.
My.
LORD!

Hilarious comic, yet again!
I know! My parents used to worry about how thin I was then I just turned into a human blimp 🙁 with no change to my diet at all.
Chocolate makes my clothes shrink. I'm certain of it.
I can't eat much any more either, maybe a pice of toast or fruit in the mornings? I used to eat BAAACON and PANCAKES!
haha this made me laugh so loud i woke up my roomate… whoops 🙂

Then Again, I was in Soccer, and did Taekwondo, plus I ran around outside for fun… now I stand at work and do nothing.
I've gained appetite and lost my figure. 🙁
I'm 41… and still a skinny white boy thankfully! And I regularly gorge at the casino buffet! nom nom nom…
The black hole in my belly is just due its enormous mass

The hair of the mother in the first panel got a camouflage from the body.
