A vintage cartoon of two boys and a man. One of the boys is fat and says, “Whew! That’s over! But I’m as weak as a cat!” The adult wearing a red T-shirt with a yellow letter T on it says, “Have a Tootsie Roll, Fatso! It will give you added energy, quick!”
And the guy he’s calling “Fatso” is actually named Fatso.
What if Fatso stops eating Tootsie Rolls and goes on a diet or ozempic? Will he still be Fatso?
By the rules of the day, he would be renamed to Slim
And it would then be unwise to mess around with him. A lesson Jim learned the hard way.
Will he stand up though?
Depends on how deeply he believes in nominative determinism.
I’m not sure if that makes it better or worse. If they were a real person it would be better. But being that it’s a fictional character, it means the writters named him “Fatso”.
the whole thing was advertisements for tootsie roll candies. so the name ‘fit’, i guess.
