Sneak Peek: The Fat Dad Club

Added 2023-04-22 13:00:02 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone, it's another Sneak Peek, I know, but I just wanted to show all of these handsome big-bellied men together in sketch form before the story starts posting in just over a week. This sketch took quite a long time to put together, given the five dads in the frame, and getting the composition right was a challenge too, as is often the case when dealing with multiple fatties in one picture. Here's a little excerpt from Part 1:

‘Uh, well, you know…,’ Carl resumed. Joe’s dismemberment of sweet flaky pastry was distracting his already wavering focus. ‘You know how it is. I was married, put on a few husband-pounds. Had a kid, put on a few more…’ He managed to turn his dread chuckle into more of a human-sounding laugh at the last minute.

But apparently Carl’s words had resonated with the group; they laughed along, Joe rubbed the curve of his own bloated beerbelly and added, ‘Damned right, haha!’

‘And, as I say, I live on my own now and it’s just too easy to keep eating, heh,’ Carl went on, relieved to have the crowd nodding along. ‘You know, you try to lose it, but something happens when you turn, oh, I don’t know, 35 or so? Start feeling settled. Having that extra cookie or two, heh.’

‘Or three or four!’ Joe interjected, tearing into a new danish, this time custard.

‘I joined a gym and never went…,’ Carl said.

‘Now that does sound familiar,’ Henry lamented.

‘And I’m still paying for the darned membership!’ Carl exclaimed with a smile, beginning to feel buoyed by the reception his words were garnering.
