I feel a little clueless about the flag. The Texas State flag is similar, except it should only have two stripes, white over red. The red-white-red configuration is an element of the Confederate 'Stars and Bars'.
Is combining these two flags common in Texas, or is Tat making some clever social commentary? Or do I even have to ask?

I couldn't help thinking that Tat has a failed yet another Atkin_00 diet before writing this one  _________________ 我的氣墊船裝滿了鱔魚 |

Didn't find this one all that funny, really. Even the implication that squiggy does this all the time and still doesn't realize why he doesn't lose weight didn't tickle my rib. |

Maybe he stopped signing because he doesn't want to make the strip longer than it already is...I don't know.
But, seriously, Tat's Sunday's are about 3x bigger than the adverage newspaper Sunday. |

I'm assuming then that you've had a life of good health and can stick by any personal goals you make to a "T" without ever faltering on them?
I laugh at it because like someone else said, its exaggerating on the fallacy of most americans' "weight loss programs". And I'm totally guilty of it myself at times.  |

the color strips tempt me to try cutting some characters out of glass.
especially the one-color silhouette-esque frames |

I loved this strip. It reminded me of this.
People have an amazing tendency to overcompensate after working out. I've seen all of my friends do it. "Well, I guess I can have a third slice of ice cream cake because I went to the gym yesterday."
I avoid the problem altogether by never exercising. I know it'll catch up to me later, but I've perfectly reconciled myself with the idea. I prefer laziness. |

Wow, this strip was great. The little naming puns were funny. I tend to do the same thing Squiggly does when I exercise. Damn those tasty foods! _________________

That's cause you didn't carefully look at THIS:

actually, this is what i thought you were referring to when you said you loved the towel in your first post.
on another subject: i think this is the real reason the coloring contest has died. everyone is too intimidated by tat's coloring. |
I was talking about the squiggy piggy towel.
I would totally buy that.

As a fitness/nutrition nut, I am totally in love with this strip. Portion sizes, empty calories, and inactivity - the axis of evil of American health.
P.S. If we're gonna get all technical about anatomy in a cartoon strip, it begs to be mentioned that a pig's penis is only exposed when it is erect. If Tat were to be anatomically correct, he'd put a sheath... And I'd pray that Squig didn't see anything particularly attractive. _________________ fight |

Considering Squig, I'd expect an almost constant erection.
Slicky too.

Argh misattribution. That's where I saw it.
People, people! The real reason for the pants/nopants is that Squiggy's stomach is so fat that he creates a gravity field that pulls it inside his shirt! But scales exert an obscenely strong gravitational field, as anyone on a diet ought to know, so it gets pulled down again and he must hide it. _________________
