Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Craving Control is/was a webcomic published on Drunk Duck.com in 2007. It followed a beautiful young freshman named Lalia, as she attempts to survive college with her roommate Jane. The twist was that Lalia had a massive appetite, often with the gut to show it, which is the entire point of the series.Despite being relatively short and prone to extreme cases of Schedule Slip, it managed to acquire a decent-sized fanbase. After spending time as an Orphaned Series, it returned on the author's deviantArt account, though now trimmed the supporting cast out and focused exclusively on Lalia and her increasingly over the top binges; what the creator and his fanbase considered the fun stuff.Unfortunately, despite it's fanbase the series was again orphaned and later taken down due to personal reasons.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })In August 2016, Arthur briefly returned to deviantArt to upload three new pages as a special one-off treat for fans, inserting new scenes into the Coming Apart At The Seams story line. This would in turn inspire a faithful continuation along the same lines by prominent fetish artist Adjective Noun Combo. Quickly grabbing Arthur's attention, he stepped in to offer his blessing and input on future instalments, effectively reviving the comic once more.The new content can be found here: https://adjectivenouncombo.deviantart.com/gallery/63686094/Craving-Control | |

Fat and Proud: While not technically fat, Lalia has nothing but love for the enormous belly hanging off her hips. She does become this in the final chapter. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Craving Control (Webcomic) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Of an unusual sort. Coming Apart At The Seams was originally just a collection of Lalia's gluttonous antics that culminated in her winning her cruise ticket. Much, much later, new pages were drawn to be inserted in between them, turning it into a flowing story. Almost comically, once Arthur and ANC started collaborating, further pages were added, expanding the story a second time. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Craving Control (Webcomic) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The series originally ended with Lalia having shirked her college responsibilities to go on a luxury cruise, and the last we see of her is a page of her indulging in a massive stack of pancakes. The Double Dip storyline picks up after the cruise, with the events left unexplained. This finally gets a nod in the ANC revival, where Jane and Trevor are briefly seen on a date. Arthur drew a single page for a prequel series that would have followed a teenage Lalia developing into the familiar gluttonous bombshell. Unfortunately, there was controversy in regards to her age, and the story was abandoned. It's possible Lalia's mother would have reappeared during this. | |

Only Sane Man: As the series has gone on and on and Lalia's binges have gotten bigger and bigger, Jane seems to be one of few people to react to Lalia's extreme eating. Even her own mother is barely fazed by her ten foot girth which proceeds to crush the damn table! | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: More like, Brilliant but Hungry. Lalia is a clever girl, but her appetite tends to get in her way. The "lazy" side gets more prominence in the series as Lalia becomes increasingly concerned with stuffing herself over study, etcetera. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Craving Control (Webcomic) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Lalia and Janes' interactions in the initial run were a little more indifferent, with both being polite to each other and Lalia frequently trying to force her presence on Jane. Come the Thanksgiving Special (technically about a year later), the two are pretty much best friends, though still with the same gripes as before. Jane comes off as much less of a stereotypical nerd in Double Dip. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Craving Control (Webcomic) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The title of the webcomic actually has a couple of different readings, which border on Fridge Brilliance: One way it can be read is "control over one's cravings", the complete lack of which is basically Lalia's defining trait. An alternative way to read it is "craving to have control (over one's cravings)", which is one of Lalia's traits in the initial stories, before in later stories she simply blithely gives in to her gluttonous impulses. A third reading of the title would be a reference to how Lalia's cravings have such control over her, leading to the eventual shift in motif. | |

Denser and Wackier: The original had a a few goofy moments, but was mostly just a quirky story about a girl trying to get through college with a big appetite. The retool instead embraced cartoon physiques, with Lalia eating until she became trapped in doorways, or her stomach was larger than the rest of her body. | |

Art Shift: For a brief period, the series was illustrated by a completely different artist to get it out of a hiatus. The art is fine, but the change is extremely jarring. The ANC revival goes to lengths to avoid this, but being a recreation, the artist's normal style does bleed through in places. | |

Mood Whiplash: A major criticism of ANC’s version is that this tends to happen quite a bit. It is especially prevalent in the finale, we go from Jane bitterly breaking up with Trevor, to his bedroom where a drunkenly Lalia marches in, her stomach the biggest it ever gets in the comic, and she and Trevor start making out... Then the humor and eroticism ends abruptly when Lalia finally notices who she is cuddling with and has a huge Heel Realization. This then leads to the surprisingly somber scene of Trevor and Jane parting ways... Then we end on the reformed but still gluttonous Lalia making out with a pizza guy. | |

Odd Friendship: Lalia, a pretty, glamorous redhead with the appetite rivaling some species of whale, and Jane, a geeky, shy and very sensible worrywart. | |

Porn with Plot | |
| Craving Control (Webcomic) / int_aa8f52c7 | comment |
Fanservice With Plot: The series has always zigzagged on how much plot it has, but it has always been framed around pictures of a busty redhead stuffing herself to absurdity. | |

Flanderization | |
| Craving Control (Webcomic) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Lalia starts the series struggling to live a normal life despite her appetite and desperately attempting to control her cravings. After the first story, she becomes a simple glutton who only cares about gorging herself as often and as massively as possible, taking blatant pride in how big a Balloon Belly she can give herself. The series itself follows suite. The original run had a full cast and a developing story, while the revival is more or less a showcase of Lalia's binges. Arthur explained that he had lost interest in the story and instead wanting to focus on what he considered the fun stuff. | |
