[ID: This cartoon has four panels. Each panel shows a woman at her kitchen sink. Although each panel shows the same scene, each panel is shown from a slightly different angle.
The woman is fat, and is wearing blue jeans and a pink tee shirt that shows a planet sticking its tongue out on the back, and has the words “don’t panic” written in large friendly letters on the front. Her orange hair is in a messy bun. On the countertop next to her is an open laptop, and throughout the cartoon the voices we hear are coming from the laptop. The laptop is positioned with the screen facing away from the “camera,” so we can’t see what’s on the screen.
PANEL 1 The woman is washing a dish over the kitchen sink. Voices are coming from her laptop, but she doesn’t appear to be paying attention.
VOICE 1 – TV HOST: You’ve been on People’s “hottest celebs” list six times… but in your new movie, you wear a fat suit! It’s a ”huge” transformation!
VOICE 2 – CELEB: Ha ha! It was quite a learning experience.
PANEL 2 The woman continues to wash dishes, but glances at the laptop screen.
TV HOST: Interesting! Can you tell us some things you learned?
CELEB: First, it’s disturbing to play a part designed to let audiences enjoy being grossed out by “my” body.
PANEL 3 A close up of the laptop on the counter.
CELEB: Second, I learned it’s exploitative to wear a marginalized person’s body as a costume. And I learned there are plenty of fat actors who’d love this opportunity but weren’t given a shot.
PANEL 4 The woman has stopped washing dishes and is leaning against the counter and watching the laptop screen. She looks amused.
CELEB: Finally, I learned that no one should see this stupid movie. Excuse me, my manager appears to be having a coronary. END ID]
