I think the Big Boy folks have missed an obvious compromise.  Their concern
seems  to  be  that the image of a fat boy is not appropriate to the modern
"you can't be too thin" ethic.  My solution: put the kid on a diet!

Big doesn't necessarily  imply  fat,  and  is  supposed  to  refer  to  the
hamburger  anyway.  Slim down the Big Boy's image and maybe run him through
some nautilus training.  They could  build  a  whole  advertising  campaign
around  the  concept and even do a public service by advocating good health
practices.

By the time they're finished Big Boy could have gone from fat little kid to
slim,  muscular  hunk without loosing any product identification and people
would feel less guilty about pigging out in their restaurants.
