It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Gigantic snake: "...Don't do that."
I'm phobic but the snake is totally in the right in this case.

I thought Huey long might be good, but I looked at some pictures and he doesn't look fat. I guess he just lived large.

Oliver Hardy and Fatty Arbuckle might also merit a google.

Thank you! Taft is perfect- I don't know why I couldn't think of him! Although I may use the Australian man in my collage, since his is less recognizable!

In Googling a famously large man of the era, Diamond Jim Brady [link] I found this trove of news photos from the 1910s [link]
It's possible I may never emerge from the Library of Congress Flickr project.

Also I wish I had a snowball's chance in hell at getting a morning coat for this guy without making one- fat men look better in morning coats than sack suits. (I am doing a no money show, and can't rent one)

I have been reading early 20th century men's taloring books, and they are ll based on an ideal figure (in one book they called him the regular Apollo) of 38 chest, 33 waist, 39 hips, and 5'8". Then they discuss the divergences from it- short, slim, corpulent and stout. Corpulent means a Big Guy- like a former athlete who has aged, while stout means having a big belly. Then there are whole chapters on how to make a coat for a hunchback, and pants for the bowlegged and knock-kneed!
