I always wear two shirts, one tucked in and one un-tucked. That way if someone gets fresh about not meeting dress code, I just lift up the first shirt and say “yes, I do have my shirt tucked in.”
At my old job I had to tuck my work shirt in, which of course went as you mentioned above. Needless to say it prompted me to attempt to lose weight… I was doing good until I got fired, and then I got lumpy again.
My theory is that it’s a consequence of the art getting more dynamic and expressive. Stronger gestures are just easier to communicate with a longer body, and bigger eyes show more expression.
Or to put it another way, all that jumping around is making them lose weight 🙂
I have to say like all others, thank you Adam for the comics, great job. I so totally relate to this one but panel 2 confused me today, what is the arrow and the small pillows about?
What…what is his shirt tucked IN to? His legs? And I totally agree with Bob in Nashville…when you get large…wear your pants over your fat, not the other way around. Saying you “still wear a size 34 waist” isn’t fooling ANYONE!
Nice title, btw Adam…
While we guys may not always look good with our shirts tucked in, we look worse with the shirt tails out. It looks sloppy. If you are really fat, it looks like you are wearing a top for a pregnant woman.
For all the many, many, many, many, many, MANY, MANY, MANY, MAAAAANY problems with women’s fashion, I will say you have more business-casual options for hiding your belly. (Assuming dresses are permitted.)
I laughed so hard at this. So totally true.

You could spin your own plates. Not that hard really if you buy the right equipment. http://www.dube.com/spinningplate/spinning-plates.php
In college I would spin lunch trays on the handles of my golf clubs.
Captain Scarlet, I really don’t think they condone plate spinning at Spectrum.
This is why you suck that gut in when you walk around. Granted there’s the side effect of passing out but hey, you’ll look much better!
Sucking in your gut is good exercise. The original Bugs were portly. They’ve become thinner over the years.
Yeah. It’s weird. And it was totally unintentional. They just sorta evolved that way.

That’s why I wear my pants over my fat rather than wearing my fat over my pants.
The down side, though, is that my waist is bigger than my hips so a belt no longer holds my pants up and I need suspenders.

I assumed it was the “feat of strength” that fat bug is capable of.
Asneeze: You mean, a “strength of feet”!
*push*
-this is not related. I just have to say that when someone says that. 🙂
I thought it was pretty clever, watching Bug try to smack away the advertisements.
Yea, I think the one he was smacking was originally pointing at the “Love Handles”
But when the shirt _isn’t_ tucked in, everyone can see the fat peeking out from the bottom of the shirt… =/

You can make it better by wearing a giant arrow around your neck that points directly to your gut.
Oh wait sorry I didn’t mean better I meant the other thing… worse.
This is why you wear a jacket – appropriately dressy, and covers the midriff and moobs.
I see now, it was pointing to his back fat rolls and he was smacking it away. thank you
