Holiday Rerun - New Year's Diet - Sheldon® Comic Strip

Arthur stands in the background talking to Gramp, who is holding ga slice of cherry pie on a plate in his hands.

PANEL 1
ARTHUR: I thought you were starting your “points watchers” diet this week.
GRAMP: I can’t…YET. I still have all these leftover holiday pies and cakes lying around.

PANEL 2
ARTHUR, staring up at GRAMP: So you’re gonna eat them all, and THEN diet?
GRAMP: Well, I can’t just throw them out.

PANEL 3
ARTHUR: But you’re GAINING WEIGHT in the process.
GRAMP, in the foreground: But think THEN the diet will be like starting a bike ride at the top of the hill: those first pounds will be super easy to lose, and will grease the wheels for the rest of the diet! So really, I’m gaining to lose.

PANEL 4
GRAMP, sitting his his chair, eating the pie.
Gramp’s thought bubble: “…gaining to lose.” “Nailed it.”
