And, oddly enough, Bug looks thinnest in the panel where he’s ordering “enough burgers to feed the Gilbreth family.”
My balancing act is, if I know a fast-food or equally fattening lunch is coming that day, I skip breakfast. Totally unhealthy, I know, bu it makes me feel better inside.
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever read anywhere a reference to the original Cheaper by the Dozen writer. now the question is if he meant the book itself or the original movie?
Does it make me old that I got the Gilbreth family reference without the explanation?
Plus, one baby carrot will totally cancel out an entire cheesecake. True story.
I grew up believing that John Kenneth Galbraith was actually the guy from the Cheaper by the Dozen books that I’d read as a child… (never seen the movies, just knew the name was similar and the father had a similar job (economist, scientific management)…
Boy did people look at me funny when I confused them in public the first time; though in my defence, a 14-year old mentioning either of those two men was probably funny enough
Fat bug is hilarious looking. The folds!
That is one squishy insect
Oh my dear lord … “Blobba Ghanoush.” That’s awesome. Thank you, Adam.

it’s because of that “veal of produce” =p
“no, but you are right to mock me.”
=D
Burgers aren’t bad, it’s a salad lunch wrapped in a bit bread with a bit of meat in the middle, I see nothing wrong with that.
So does the Gilbreth family line make the first obscure reference in the comic for 2012.
I particularly like how the bug in panel one looks like he has a “spare tire”.
From “Blobba Ghanoush” to the Cheaper by the Dozen reference, this comic was gold. Nice work, Adam!
Co-sign ROFLMAO!

I would assume he meant the actual people, seeing as the books (plural – the sequel is Bells on Their Toes) are autobiographical.

No it doesn’t Jeff, your age alone does that.
Baby carrots in my house are entirely not healthy, I can only eat them with a tube of ranch or blue cheese dressing..
“baby carrots, the veal of produce.” is absolute genius.
Oh man, I forgot about that book’s existence!
It’s important to eat your fast food using as few therbligs as possible.
Hahah dang that’s 1st panel is hilarious, but I hope u know this is a real thing Adam ppl actually do this (I used too :[ )
I like salad with banana peppers. That is my anti-guilt food.
FYI – No such thing as “baby” carrots.

The chlorinated veal of produce!

Anyone else want to see Adam in real life?
