One Fat Day…

By A Hernandez


[image description:  
The image shows a black line drawing cartoon that reads “One fAT DAY…” across the top in shaded bubble letters and, “BY Hernandez” in sloping script. At left a fluffy scowling cat is being pet under the chin by a human with thin-rimmed glasses, a bowl cut, and button-up shirt. Their nose is prominent and their wide mouth with tongue sticking out along with line work around their head communicate an air of frazzled overwhelm. Below them is a text box reading, “It was the day Nicki the cat almost sucked off the fingers of the vet after telling her to go on a DIET…”

At top right is a text box that reads, “It was the day Juanita educated some skinny on the street on how to say the F-WORD.” Below the box at left is Juanita, a fat human with short wavy hair, a large earring, and a t-shirt with triangles. With her arms crossed and a big smile, she is telling another human,
“Repeat after me… 
FAT 
FAT 
FAT 
FAT 
FAT”
The other human, a slight person in a button-up blouse and combed back hair responds, 
“FAT is GOOD 
FAT is GOOD
FAT is GOOD 
FAT is GOOD”]

At left, a thin bald human with freckles and an open, speaking mouth stands behind a text box reading, “It was the day Penny bumped into Wally the Tough Guy alone on ‘El Grande Ave’ with her dog Downy Pillow.” Next to them stands a fat human with long messy hair, a sideways hat with a ‘FAT GIRL’ patch, checkered shirt, overalls, and big boots. They have a toothy grin and stand beside a big dog with goofy canines and floppy ears.
At right a fat human with bangs and chin-length hair sits and uses their right hand to write or draw on a blank sheet of paper. Their eyes are closed and they smile gently with a text box above their head reading, “It was the day I wrote a personal manifesto saying FAT GIRLS RULE don’t they?”]
