Monroe is experiencing the realization that he can’t fit himself back into his shell. He is a victim of the dreaded double chocolate fudge bulge.

Double chocolate ripple !! add some fudge sauce and what to you have? a rapidly expanding reptile.

I couldn’t resist the opportunity to slip in a picture of my favorite bear, Duffy of the fun comic Flatt Bear by P.J. Day.

You know you shouldn’t eat heavy food right before bed time, but we’ve all done it. In Monroe’s case, he’s actually thinking about doubling down.
