All the photos I have ever seen of St. John Bosco gave me the impression he was a stout man. Looking at the photo shown here, it appears that he was quite thin.
Must be the capes then. Capes make people look fat.

ReplyDelete"No, it's your ass that makes you look fat." Or so I respond when asked that question ...
ReplyDelete*Note to self, no capes.
ReplyDeleteFrom Pixar's "The Incredibles":
ReplyDeleteEdna [super-hero fashion designer]: It will be bold! Dramatic!
Bob [aka Mr. Incredible]: Yeah!
Edna: Heroic!
Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!
Bob: Isn't that my decision?
Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
Bob: Listen, E...
Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!
Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...
Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things...
Edna: Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex!
Edna [shouts]: NO CAPES!
