."always?"

Aaaaaaaand this is why small talk makes me uncomfortable:

When I saw someone post this story on twitter, the brilliance of Nancy’s satire compelled me to draw something cute (and slightly messy) in her honor.

The notion that there is something inherently unappealing or non-beautiful about a woman with a softer body has always seemed pretty absurd to me. Perhaps that's because as an overweight, softer-bodied gentleman with moderate self esteem, the trite-but-true adage "it's what's inside that counts" is usually regarded as a second-person truism. The fact is, while one might be able to make certain assumptions pertaining to a person's health or personal habits based on the amount of flesh attached to their bones, that person's character is seldom visible at a glance. It's such an eye-rolling cliche, beaten into our brains since childhood, and yet our culture still doesn't seem to get it. Yuck.
