Went through several drafts of the next strip that sucked, so here’s some inconsequentialness featuring everyone’s favorite portly ginger! (Sorry, Harry Knowles)

    heheh “i’m dyiiiing” lol

  2. W says:

    Yup, now I’m convinced she’s a lesbian.

  3. maarvarq says:

    So it’s only overindulgence in food or alcohol that stops Penny from becoming psychotic, huh?

    BTW, my RSS feed is back. I don’t know what happened, but I also don’t know why my Dr McNinja feed keeps going away and coming back either.

  4. Alexander says:

    Not entirely sure “Lil” is an appropriate term for her. She probably weighed as much then as she does now. Granted “now” is like… 90 lbs, but you know. Details.

  5. Max says:

    I had to wear a shirt when I went swimming as a kid too. Not because I was fat, but because I’m ginger and the sun is my enemy.

  6. MrGBH says:

    Thanks to a genetic disorder called Gilbert’s Syndrome, I can eat like a pig and still remain skinny. Seriously, I’m talking chocolate cake for breakfast, a litre of ice-cream as a snack and nothing but KFC for main meals (Maybe a Taco Bell thrown in once a week or so).
    I’m 26, 6 foot tall and weigh only 9 and a half stone.

    I love being me.

  7. Danny says:

    Bet you can’t run for shit though.

    Why do I get a Chris Griffin vibe from this issue?

  8. CSM says:

    I want that shirt. Just a shirt that says Shirt. I would seriously buy it if you sold it.

  9. Mike says:

    so it’s possible she never lost the weight but just grew into it. now it’s GOOD to be 105 lbs.

  10. LaughingTarget says:

    I, too, fell like Penny. Dropped from 200 to 169 since June. There have been many a times I wanted to crush tasty food of friends because I strictly wasn’t allowing myself to have it.

  11. TheDutchDevil says:

    @W: wait, what? who? what?

  12. IndigoRei says:

    Ah!!! The first “SHIRT” shirt!!! LOL!!!

    @ MrGBH… Um… I may sound like a stupid American for asking, but how much is a stone?

  13. MrGBH says:

    @IndigoRei:
    14 Pounds….
    I have no idea how that translates to Kilos.

  14. IndigoRei says:

    @MrGBH:

    1 Kilo = 2.2046 pounds

    therefore 1 stone = 6.35 k

    so you are about 133 lb or 60.3 k

    …I checked my math three times, so I’m guessing that’s about right.

  15. IndigoRei says:

    If I had actually done any of my homework way back when, I might’ve scored better than the B- average i got…

  16. freak with a pen says:

    pt.3
    … yeah, pretty much

  17. DCHorror says:

    I have no sympathy for Kate in the first comic.

    “Stricken” with a hyper-active metabolism as well as a genetic shaking disorder, I burned through about 4-5000 calories per day and, if the temp dropped into the twenties (F), would put on a long-sleeved top. It dropped considerably about a year ago, now I only eat about 3000 calories a day. But it’s now December and I still have only worn my sleeves about 5 times this year. Eating fewer than 2500 calories in a day makes me sick.

    God, I’m so sick of eating… I wouldn’t trade it for the opposite by any means but still…
