A New Character? by Illiad 2002-04-10 09:48:44

This just in my e-mail:

I've been reading User Friendly now for a couple of years, and I really love it. But one thing surprises me: Since the strip is about geeks, why aren't there any fat people in it? Being a sterotypical, overweight geek myself, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if the strip had I fat person I could identify with.

Does anyone else here agree? Disagree?
