   Enjoy. Don’t obsess. Then go jogging. Or chase a small kid around the house.

   Split it with the kids. They’ll be thrilled and you’ll only eat a third of it.

   Eat it, otherwise the kids will be fighting over it and who want’s to be with two kids fighting?

   Eat the thing with a cup of coffee and enjoy a break. You’re entitled Elly.

    Eat it. Life’s too short not to enjoy all it has to offer. And that includes donuts.

    I would give the donut to my kids. Divided.

    Weird. I didn’t realize donuts needed to be refridgerated.

    Perfect opportunity for a Tim Hortons product placement. Those of you not in Canada or Northeast USA, “Timmy Ho” donut/coffee shops are always in sight.

    I love her face in the last frame!

    I think I’ll copy/cut this one out and hang it on the fridge, just for a laugh

    Garfield will protect her from that donut.

    Don’t bother - a refrigerated donut tends to be dry and not worth the energy of resisting. Let one of the kids have it as a treat and enjoy something really good, like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. And could you pass a couple of cookies to me while you are at it?!

    those cookies sure sound better than that donut

    According to her interviews, Lynn Johnston was anorexic around the time she originally did this strip. It’s interesting to see an artist work their own personal struggle into their work for humour.

    When did Elly last check the fridge?!? She could well be salivating over nothing if Michael got there first! XD

    Tim Horton’s is one of the things I like best about Canada!

    As for refrigerated donuts, I refrigerate stuff like that and then microwave it for about 30 seconds and it tastes like fresh baked.
