Fat Art Appreciation

A spectacular work of illustration drawn from an internet photo you may have seen previously, artist unknown but simply wonderful!

An advertising favorite of mine from 1919, courtesy of the Canadian Bell Company, Limited, and titled the Kodak Salesman, with the Corpulent Customer (declaring): "I want a Kodak for the vest pocket” and the Salesman, formerly behind the underwear counter (replying): "Let's see, you take about a 3-A size, don't you?" Of course, size 3-A (no longer used) no doubt was a thing of men of a decidedly noble size!

Oh, the old school elevator fun with the stern operator chiding fatties like me to “suck it in” when our bellies inevitably got in the way of the closing door!

A thinner version of me, sometime around 2017, taken on a business trip to Atlanta … fortunately, the hotel room’s desk was sturdy enough to support my weight of around 260 then!
