Being the best you can be implies resisting temptation for junk foods. He liked his tattoo but the second he was tempted, the tattoo’s advice went out the window. He either covered it up to hide other people from seeing it while he eats a donut, or he’s hiding the tattoo itself from seeing and judging him.
I had to read it like 5 times because I thought there was a dirty undertone.

Debatable. Personally to me someone’s qualifications for “best” or “worst” are pretty far divorced from food choice, since I’m not a vegan who ties morality to consumption. Hell my grandma would say he killed that “best” goal for himself the second he got a tattoo lol.
I don’t think he’s covering it out of shame or anything like that, it seems more that he’s grabbing it to remind himself of his message, like “be strong.” Plus, we don’t see a panel of him having eaten a donut so it could be interpreted either way, the comic artist tends to lean towards positive messages with a cynical twist so I think that’s intentional.
My first thought was that it was a dunk on jam filled donuts and it meant the opinion of someone who likes em can’t be trusted.
But now i think its the opposite and the jam filled donuts temped the tattooed guy which is why he hides his tatoo reading ‘be the best you can be’ as he can’t resist them
I think he’s judging the coworker, and question his decision to get the tattoo. This coworker apparently sees the tattoo and figure as relatively equal to be excited about.
But I’m just saying shit, my opinion doesn’t matter.
What?

I think he wants to f*ck the donuts
A holes a hole 😔
My first thought was he clearly was not being the best he could be, because he was not the one that brought in the jam filled donuts.
Oh yeah that makes sense. I was thinking it’s some Chinese text tattoo, and he saw the same text in donut packaging but that didn’t make much sense eh

But his sleeve is lowered in the fourth panel

May be. I hope it’s not though. Otherwise it implies eating a treat makes you lesser.
Jam donuts aren’t the best. They don’t even exist, actually. He should save himself for jelly donuts.
Must be jam cause jelly don’t shake like that
In gonna go the other route.
