Must Read: The Fat Monologue
You may have already seen this; even if you have, you should probably read it again.
Amp (who writes at the underrated, excellent Alas, a Blog) has created The Fat Monologue:
This is a comic I did many months ago (or was it over a year ago?), for a gallery show. Because it was designed to be viewed on a wall, it’s kind of hard to look at online — the panels kind of spiral around rather than going in straight, easy-to-scroll through rows.
It's marvelous stuff - easily one of the best fat-related pieces I've seen ever.

Agreed, it's made of win, and all the more so for having a male protagonist.

That's a really beautiful piece of work - truthful and insightful.
