Back on track Jim...Societal issue that impacts lots of people...We have lost the days of outside activity and then being called to a healthy family dinner. We used to organize our own pick up ball games, run in the park, play whatever sport was in season and that was a great time.
With the weirdo in the park these days and the over inflated egos of little league parents, kids have to stay inside and play Nintendo! Then when mom and dad get home at 7:00 PM they have a bag full of burgers from your favorite fake meat establishment.
Loved it. Taking a well known phrase and removing one letter to change the entire meaning. It's these play on words that I like the best and find myself jealous that you thought of it first.
Keep it up.
Great cartoon. We have 3 children in grade school and the number of their classmates who are overweight is amazing. What "guy" states is right on point; we often need to push the kids outside on a beautiful day.
We've also adopted a policy of educating our kids on serving sizes and having a balanced diet. A real battle at first, especially since our 5-year old thought a serving size was the entire bag of potato chips...
now if we could change a few letters of "the windy city," we'd have cincinnati's new slogan: the whiny city. i can see it now: the cincy skyline, with word bubbles coming up here and there complaining about the bengals draft, the reds, the weather, etc... we just are never happy, are we?
Great job. The concentration on the kids faces is great.
