A vintage cartoon of two boys and a man. One of the boys is fat and says, "Whew! That's over! But I'm as weak as a cat!" The adult wearing a red T-shirt with a yellow letter T on it says, "Have a Tootsie Roll, Fatso! It will give you added energy, quick!"

For reference, the character in the red shirt is actually named Captain Tootsie

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 40 points 6 days ago (2 children)

And the guy he's calling "Fatso" is actually named Fatso.

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

What if Fatso stops eating Tootsie Rolls and goes on a diet or ozempic? Will he still be Fatso?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

By the rules of the day, he would be renamed to Slim

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

And it would then be unwise to mess around with him. A lesson Jim learned the hard way.

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Will he stand up though?

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 4 points 6 days ago

Depends on how deeply he believes in nominative determinism.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse. If they were a real person it would be better. But being that it's a fictional character, it means the writters named him "Fatso".

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

the whole thing was advertisements for tootsie roll candies. so the name 'fit', i guess.

[–] RegularJoe@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thanks for the added information!

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 4 points 6 days ago

You're welcome!

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

The kid on the left? Fair enough.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Found a new nickname for my youngest. Thanks.

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fuck the Captain’s Tootsie.

[–] sidebro@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

I'd rather not

[–] FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Pretty good super villain idea, tbh. (I have to assume villain, he’s handing out tootsie rolls after all.)
