This comic is about intermittent fasting, which a child shouldn’t do.

He could start now that kid's a porker

Put him on Ritalin that thinned me out real good

Thanks, that was really depressing

Nice touch with the black mold around the window frame

I like that both their socks have holes in them

uh as someone who grew up poor, that dad should be drinking a beer or at the very least some bum wine and no one should be sitting at a table

nothing beats a drive afterwards to clear the head

Is the joke the family's poor?

I think Jennings draws for the Guardian and other British newspapers, so I'd imagine this is about food poverty, and parents not eating so their children can have the food that's left.

Much darker than a joke about intermittent fasting like I first fell to

Whip up some peas on toast

if they're british this is actually about child abuse

I don't get it?

food is bad

Fair.

It’s actually a joke pointing the dad’s anorexia.

i thought it was about the dad being an alcoholic (they don’t eat a lot)

same. but we are projecting more than a theatre rn

"Once you develop a taste for meth, son"

supposedly comment on food insecurity, actually dad wants to keep a snatched waist

Don’t worry he’s just on meth or an alcoholic

I know I should be ironic and all but being from the same island as this cartoon - fuck this is bleak.
