To Templo: Providing sperm doesn’t cause a man to gain weight or otherwise end up with a ‘paunch’; giving birth can cause a woman to end up with a ‘paunchy’ abdomen…
don’t know where to go with this strip so many directions available,1st she doesn’t look pauncy whatever that is,2cnd he’s going bald she isn’t,3rd he doesn’t have mud on his face
nancy is getting paunchier?!? Where? Her belly looks as a flat as a washboard. Frank, if you want to flatter your wife, maybe try palming her backside rather than tell her it’s getting fat.
When the song Baby Got Back (“I like big butts and I cannot lie”) first became popular, my wife was going through puberty right then. So she was just starting to grow a butt, and suddenly girls with butts were popular. Perfect timing for her.
I feel a big disconnect with today’s strip because none of the woman in my life — my wife, my sister or my mother even covered their face with goop at night. It’s some kind of old stereotype about women, desperate to look young but in my limited experience it’s just not a thing.
As for Frank what does he do all day? When we do see him in the strip all he does is sit around and complain about Luann’s messy room. No wonder he’s getting fatter.
But seriously, Frank’s comments are both tone-deaf and unself-aware. Frank comes off as an obnoxious Boomer.
Frank, you have a big gut. Your nose is too big and your hair is gone. You are always rude, have nothing interesting to say and everyone thinks you’re boring. Maybe you should rethink that stupid snide comment you just made to your very pretty, physically fit wife who loves you despite all of your faults.
After that comment Frank, better be prepared to retract, apologize, and, grovel-if you know what’s good for you. He!! knows no fury, like a woman insulted.
That is the reason ALL mothers use for gaining weight. Sure, you gain during your pregnancy, but you can lose the extra weight after childbirth. It is up to you if you do or don’t.
Oh shutup Nancy,The last time you had a child was about 20 years ago in the luanniverse when you had Luann. so stop using that as an excuse.just admit you overeat,dont exercise and complain all the time.
Nancy had 2 pregnancies, the last of which was over 20-years (in comics time). Meanwhile, Frank has dutifully povided sufficient resources for Brad & Luann to be raised in relative comfort while Nancy didn’t have to work for decades.
Bearing two children does not in itself a paunch make, Nancy. Rather, there are lifeway choices involved, too. You do not have to surrender your figure to motherhood!
That said, Foolish Frank should have kept his fat yap shut!…

Sick burn, Frank. By which I mean your domestic interactions with your wife are as amusing as terminal illness and arson.
