Why is Bart so often called fat? He's not drawn any different from Milhouse and Nelson, and Martin looks chubbier than him.

idk
Consider the possibility that they're all fat.
I believe this is the correct answer? People in Springfield are canonically considered overweight, after all they are Duff's World's Fattest Town.
This. The show mentions corn A LOT too so you know they love their corn syrup.
I know why, but I won't tell you.
Who calls him fat? Is that a modern season running gag or something?
Obesity epidemic was a thing even then.
I've never once in my life heard anyone call Bart fat
Hot
The ladies know what they like.
A lot of the kids are overweight, the fact that they bully Bart specifically could be because they know his dad is fat.
groundskeeper Willie says it in The Shinning
>the fat boy and his family are in trooble!
All of the Simpson family members are overweight, except maybe marge.
Marge and Lisa aren't and Magaggie is a baby
Lisa gets bullied for having a fat ass.
Maggie's on her way. The flash-forwards consistently give her Bart's body type.
Cuuute!
Jesus, Magaggie's a little butterball here.
She IS Homer's favorite, after all.
I see what you did there.
Lisa had an episode about being fat in one of the more recent seasons
That was technically caused by medication rather than natural chunkiness.
Because Barts fat
He washes himself with a rag on a stick.
I can hear the line so clearly. The voice cast is at least 50% of the reason Simpsons turned out as funny as it did.
He's fat.
I like to think "Bang Bang" Bart exists in the same timeline as degenerate gambler Lisa.
If Lisa was a successful Gamblor like she was as a child she wouldn't be in this position
>Gamblor
So it was Lisa all along! How could you make yourself cry like that? To make me cry? To make Maggie laugh? Well she didn't need to, she's always been a little trooper.
It's her neon claws, the source of her power
Children are cruel and not all statements are meant to be taken literally.
I think it's just the artstyle. South park kids all look "wide bodied" but only cartman's body shape is what a fat kid looks like in that show.
>Martin looks chubbier than him.
Martin got sent to fat camp and Bart didn't.
I mean, obvious clip references aside, have you seen the way his family eats? It's a wonder the kid isn't fatter, really. And no one is going to call Nelson out for being the lardass he is, he's the school bully.
Bart was designed as a fat boy. Then they designed Milhouse for the Butterfinger commercial and fricked up and made him the same shape as Bart.
Then they added a bunch of other kids as the show went on that looked fatter like Martin and Bart became the 'default' kid shape.
But he's still fat, just like how Homer is somehow the fattest most gluttonous man in Springfeild despite much fatter men like Barney, Comic Book Guy, Wiggim etc existing.
>Homer is somehow the fattest most gluttonous man in Springfeild
Most gluttonous certainly, but is he really presented as the fattest?
Comic book guy is definitely bigger. But the whole town is over weight
Knowing Bart was fat and he's fine with being fat even after Lisa said "have another pop tart, tubby" gave me confidence as a fat boy. It also made me glad I was born a guy because media had so many chubby male leads.
