A comic hand drawn with black ink on white paper. A series of 6 frames mixing drawings and handwritten text.

Things to do on a Rainy day in bubble letters, the words “rainy day” made of water and surrounded by raindrops.

Frame 1. Call bookstores to ask if they carry Fat Girl. [An overhead view of a small desk that has a cup and saucer, a telephone with pushbuttons, and a phone book held open to the pages with BOOGERS and BOOKSTORES. A fat person reaches into the frame, holding the phone receiver with one hand and pushing buttons on the phone with one finger of the other hand.]

Frame 2. Take a hot bath. [A fat person leans back in a clawfoot bathtub, steam rising from the water to meet the wet words “Rainy day” above. On the wall is a towel, and a small shelf containing a rubber duck and some smaller unidentifiable objects. Some water is dripping onto the tile floor from the tub.]

Frame 3. Masturbate. [Looking into an open bedroom window from outside a house. It’s raining and water is dripping steadily from the roof gutter into a bucket on the ground. Inside the window a fat person is on a bed, visible from the neck down. Their legs are spread wide and they are holding a magic wand style vibrator between their legs. Lines show the vibrator is in fact vibrating.]

Frame 4. Bake cookies. [A fat person stands in a kitchen, naked except for hot mitts, holding a spatula in one hand and a tray of cookies in the other. Behind them is a counter with a carton of milk and a plate of cookies. Behind the counter is a window showing rain and lightning.]

Frame 5. Make some art and send it to Fat Girl. [A table viewed from above that has a spiral notebook with a drawing of a fat fist and the word FAT, some pencils, scissors, glue and a row of connected, cut-out paper dolls that are fat people.]

Frame 6. Dance naked in the rain. [Two fat people dance in the rain, both naked, except for rain boots. One has her hair in a curly, fountainous up do. She smiles and moves her arms as water splashes around her feet. The other is tilting their head back, catching raindrops with their open mouth.]
