Could it be that something expands several times a day and that is why the pants are stretching. Please oh please tell us more
Does your new and improved softness in the center mean you are crunchy on the outside?
Confidential to Dave S.: Thanks for your comment on 6/30. You rock, man.
Looks like you have 2 options:
1. Join the gym on mainstreet
2. Go to Kohl’s and get yourself some Haggar “Expandable Waist” pants, they are great for work and you can still say you’re a 34″ waist
I was kinda hoping you’d show us the pants expanding…with you in them.
I think, Craiggers, that only a pair of pants YOU own would speak from the crotch and not from, say, the zipper, or the buttonhole or something.
Soooo, are we going to see Amazing Stretch Pants in a team-up with Super Viagra and Vagina Girl? I mean, there ARE three Flacidettes (or whatever they’re called)!
HUGS…
Aw. You and your pants talk in Comic Sans. That’s just plain sad.
http://bancomicsans.com/
Don’t worry about the “new and improved softness in the center” It just means “New Look, Same Great Taste”
Can someone explain all the hate for comic sans? I don’t get it.
I don’tget it either, My boss HATES Arial??? Nothing but Times New Roman. Go figure.
Last week at the lair of the evil Dr. Twillpants…
“Curses! My evil plot was once again foiled by that do-gooder Super Amazing Stretchpants! I’ll never rule the fashion runways of New York while he protects these hapless citizens from chafing, discomfort, and poor fit! Damn you, Super Amazing Stretchpants!!!”
He pushes a button with determination. “Mustardstain, my evil minion — come in here! We must devise a plan to stop our hapless foil!”
“Um, I’m standing right beside you, boss.”
“Oh, yes…of course you are… I, um, was just, uh, testing the, um… Nevermind! Now, stop messing around! We have important things to worry about!”
“I…um…really can’t mess around while I’m just standing here…”
“–Things like how to discover Super Amazing Stretchpants’ weakness!”
“…I was just trying to get you to grasp that I wasn’t…”
“CLASP!”
“Huh?”
“Mustardstain, you’re a step closer to genius!!”
“…you mean I’m not a dolt anymore…?”
“A poorly designed clasp will bring him down!”
“…um, actually, I said ‘grasp’…”
“Quickly, Mustardstain! To the Pleatmobile! We must get to Craig’s before Super Amazing Stretchpants retreats to the laundry!!”
1.) I’ve experienced the same thing recently and just stopped eating. it worked wonders. I’m now 105lbs of sexy.
2.) Comic sans makes me irrationally violent. As a graphic designer, I constantly get people emailing me their “ideas for their logo” or “Here’s what we’re thinking for the poster art”……any guess what font I get about 95% of the time?
Loooooooove,
joe
Dave S: You are a genius. I love the name Mustardstain and the Pleatmobile.
Joe: Yes, but you still haven’t told me what’s so bad about it!
I see a whole new series coming…(clapping and jumping up and down)
Joe, you’re absolutely right! As a graphic designer myself, I’m consistently amazed at how people use comic sans completely inappropriately. I’ve even seen it used for “official” emails from management, which is crazy. Do they really want management to be associated with “comic”?
That being said, though, I have to admit that there *are* appropriate uses for it. Like here, which fits in with it’s original purpose.
Just don’t put it in a logo. Ever.
Craig: The biggest problem with Comic Sans isn’t it’s somewhat poor design and horrible kerning — there are *lots* of fonts with those two unfortunate qualities — but rather it’s ubiquitous and consistently inappropriate usage.
Dave S: Are you saying I shouldn’t use “Impact” for my resume? Maybe that’s why nobody has called.
*finger touches belly*
Tee hee
Mark: “Hmm. This person’s resume appears to be an entire page of unreadable blackness. A blackboard of blankness on which we can inscribe with our corporate chalk a willingness to bend to our conglomerate will! Yes!! Hire this man!”
Mark: I hate Arial. It’s so angular.
Craig: You’ve completed the first step to becoming Mr. Incredible. Now you just need to build a spaceship and get exposed to cosmic radiation.
Who are all these people using Comic Sans? I hardly ever see it, except in everything I write myself (because I DO want math class to be associated with something comic. Although if they had “Inject terror into every fiber of your being through the use of the quadratic formula” font, I suppose I’d have to check it out.)
Craig, bummer about your pants. I think Polt sabotaged them.
Ryan R: Chisled abs, (such as Dave S’s) are “angular” too. A chisled jaw is angular. I can think of a few more things, but they aren’t appropriate. Angular aint bad.
Heather: Polt wishes he could get his hands on Craigs pants
Mark: If Dave S’s abs were perfectly angular, they wouldn’t be as popular. Anyone who tried cuddling with him would get cut and have to go to the emergency room. Things need smooth edges.
Ryan R: You win a new pocket protector
. I didn’t mean Perfectly Angular, I was speaking more in artistic terms.
Ryan R.: Dammit. *That’s* why my soon-to-be-ex-wife went out on me — my abs were too damn Arial-like. A-ha! I *knew* it wasn’t because of my personality and poor husbandry!
Did I hear right? Dave S. is soon to be single? Dude, come over to the Dark Side…Join Us Dave….Join Us!!!!!!
OK, I know that doesn’t work without the eerie music, but it was worth a shot.
BTDT on the clasp thing. No comment.
As for comic sans, whatever.
Join us. We have cookies.
The problem with comic sans is just that it’s overused. I think.
“(and) guess what font I get about 95% of the time?”
See, that comment did tell you the problem.
I remember a while ago when the font really burst on the scene, and even I used it then. But it did get overused and now seeing it can be annoying.
Honestly, I didn’t even notice it in this post though. Maybe you need a ‘death of comic sans’ post…
The fourth frame is my favorite.
And comic sans? You might as well do your graphic design work in MSPaint…
That’s the saddest movie Bossy ever saw.
You have cookies!?! Nobody ever told me you have *cookies*…
Hey, wait, didn’t we just learn that cookies were slang for something…?
The only cookies you’ll get on this side are the soft chewy kind. (Wait, Does that help or hurt our side?)
We have sausages too, you know on a bun with fried onions and green peppers, (what were you thinking?)
No DoubleStuf Oreos or Nutter Butters?!
And I’m not a fan of sausage (on a number of levels…).
I don’t know about nutter butters, but we specialize in nutty bars
I’d like to butter your nutters.
That is all. Carry on.
Damn Dave, that is the best compliment anyone could get! Wow! Craig just got dirty! I Love It!!!
I just saw a side of Craig we don’t see often, I’m tellin Polt, He’ll love it.
I’m sorry, Craig just meant he would like to spread Peanut flavored butter onto Peanut shaped wafers. Leave it to me to read to much into things.
I’m going to bed now because I have to work tonight (collective sigh of relief)
Love You All
Dear Craig,
Here are a couple links that may help explain why comic sans is evil.

http://www.marblegravy.com/articles/comic_sans.htm
HA! and I just saw the butter your nutters comment. Brilliant.
Thanks! Wrapping my O around your Reo just didn’t make as much sense.
Chip your Ahoy?
Fig your Newton?
Hostess your Cupcake?
Ding your Dong?
Fudge your Round?
….omg that last one made me gag a little bit.
Ding your Dong is genius!
Scooter your Pie?
Dave s.: I agree completely there are appropriate times to use comic sans. When putting together your high school newsletter, or printing funny iron-on transfers for your teenage friends.
(My largest client is a children’s hospital chain….so you can imagine how many people I get that email me powerpoint presentations all typed in comic sans and ask, “Can you print this on a cooler?”…..sometimes I cry at night.)
Is my use of comic sans in my cartoons (Super Viagra and Vagina Girl in particular) acceptable?
Yes, Craig, your use of comic sans in your work is perfectly acceptable.
Your cookie puns, however…
What an interesting day this has been on Puntabulous!
Craig, you look pretty far from soft in the center. Plus it could be worse, your back yard could be a back 40. I hate pants with that kind of closure, give me a button any day.
Comic Sans works perfect for this post as is resembles a comic. I will admit I don’t care for it in business settings.
As for resumes, the rule of thumb is clear and easy to read (Palatino, Times New Roman, I also like Hoefler Text). I look at 100 resumes a week, if it isn’t clear, it isn’t read.
The problem with comic sans is that it just isn’t funny. Like most comics.
A university study (I believe it was U of WA) found that Tahoma was most legible, quickest to read font. I don’t know why I know this, I just do.
Craig, I see a pattern here. Your mom has already commented on your “secretary’s spread.” Do you really want her to call you “Poppin’
Fresh?”
I’m just saying…
