Lurdiak posted:Right. Fair enough. If someone wanted to say that whole thing was the Apocalypse War despite how they actually labeled the parts, I wouldn't complain. I was just clarifying. The storyline after the Apocalypse War was the fatties which is pretty much the sharpest tone whiplash that you can get.  (That's not actually from that story. The obese protests were stupid, but I found the underground eating competitions stuff a lot more amusing.) Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Apr 22, 2018 |

Ah! Sausages, yeah. The guy behind Arnie has two sausages on his chute that really look like waggling feet.

Avoiding having the departed sent to Recyc to be turned into useful materials for the city is a major crime, and can get you time in the Isocubes. You don't have any recent deaths to report, do you, creep?

Some of it's people, it could also be Munce which is a high-protein plant that happens to look like a human head in its unprocessed form.

I'm still amazed that 2000AD comics predicted fat rights activists back in the early 80s.

After you said that, I had to scroll up to see if they were eating Kleggs. Kleggs are anthropoidal alligator people from the Dreddverse that are known for being people eaters, with one exception:   (2000 AD Prog 1888)

He's telling him to "walk" as in get out of the way/disperse, because the fatties are so large the legs are only there to provide forward motion rather than hold up their body - they're all sitting on a kind of unicycle skateboard contraption that allows them to move.

they do walk. the wheel is only to keep their guts from dragging on the ground. so, the ridiculous parody is considerably less ridiculous than real life, what with the many grotesquely obese people who cannot move under their own power.
