re: Terrifying realization
@001zlnv I'm 44. You shush. :)
Worse, I'm EXACTLY his canonical weight. That's a hell of a burden to carry around.
re: Terrifying realization
Wait what is his weight?
re: Terrifying realization
@001zlnv Yeah, I believe the exact figure is 238, but I can't swear to where I found it or what episode it's allegedly from. And... yeah, that does seem pretty low by 2019 standards, doesn't it. FWIW, I think it's from before "big wacky fat guy" was Homer's main personality trait instead of "lovably gruff working-class dad."
re: Terrifying realization
... or I just got to an episode where they said what his pants size is. And they really do mean for him to be 5'11 240 lbs. That really kind of reframes a lot of those fat jokes they make.
re: Terrifying realization
@001zlnv @zebratron2084 I am fatter than Homer Simpson.
Fortunately, I'm also smarter.
re: Terrifying realization
@001zlnv Just outta curiosity, what season? I think the Homer Phase (e.g. "Lovable Goof," "Captain Wacky," "Jerkass Homer," "Adventure Dad") is an important consideration here...
re: Terrifying realization
One of the later ones i think. It was the Homer the hippie episode.
re: Terrifying realization
@001zlnv Season 10, FWIW. Huh. That's surprisingly late.
I feel fat.
re: Terrifying realization
Yeah.
Same.

Could be, but just going off the way they draw him, if he's 5'11 he has a belly diameter of 2 feet, that would make his waist size 75 inches + even at my heaviest around 260, 48 inches was the biggest I ever wore.
Yes I realize he's a cartoon and his proportions make no sense but damn 240 just seems way way off.
