About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

One definition of the verb “fit” is “to experience or be affected with a seizure and especially an epileptic seizure” so the joke is the dad is interpreting the mom’s statement as the kid no longer having seizures. - Peter Griffin
Oh my God family guy Peter griffin I love your work
I only know the phrase "throwing a fit", so I guess that "[he] doesn't fit" could be interpreted as "[he] doesn't have seizures". Bear in mind that I'm not a native English speaker. Tagging @[email protected] in case they're interested as well.
I thought maybe the medicine made him fat but this makes way more sense
I think it's trying to use the word "fit" as an "epileptic fit." As in, "he doesn't fit" in his clothes" = he doesn't have epileptic fits when wearing these clothes. I could be off the mark completely but that's the only explanation I can think of
Lmao the past 3 comics posted don't make any sense to me.
As an epileptic, this is amusing to me hehhhh
Though the term "fit" can be derogatory, and definitely outdated, I've definitely said variations on: "I'm about to have a goddamn fit..." when I get a warning aura just before a seizure starts, because ya gotta see humor in life's little horrors.
