And as it is, Linus has Lucy define the wrong term—FAT is what he should make her define—“So why exactly do I qualify as fat, Lucy, even if I do like to treat myself to ice cream,once in a while?”

I should do that with people, whom I end up losing pointless arguments with, and who really get on my nerves, have them tell me the definition of what they tell me, at least the way THEY mean it to be, at the moment. This cartoon could well have had THAT very important moral, for each and every one of us.
