SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!
By KERRY CALLEN
I recently received a commission request to combine several, um, let’s say… big-boned superheroes into one super group called “The Rotunda.” The person requesting wanted them trying to fit through their headquarters door all at once. He also mentioned, “I was thinking it might be insensitive, but since I am on the rotund side myself, it’s probably OK.” Fair enough!
As a comics fan, you can probably list all the characters. But, just in case, (L to R): the Blimp, Herbie Popnecker aka the Fat Fury, Volstagg the Voluminous, Fatman aka the Human Flying Saucer, Bouncing Boy, and Uncle Marvel! All created decades ago.
In a mostly unrelated thought: Why don’t “fat chance” and “slim chance” mean opposite things?
