Balloon Belly/Literature

Examples of Balloon Bellies in Literature include:

In Lois McMaster Bujold's Mirror Dance, Miles Vorkosigan's clone brother Mark binges on combat rations for two weeks, bringing his weight up too in a half-conscious effort to separate himself from his progenitor. Which looked alarming enough given they both are under five feet tall. And then It Got Worse.
Children classic Winnie the Pooh does this. Pooh eats so much he gets stuck in Rabbit's burrow.
In Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince (and its movie version) the aviator draws a boa constrictor with an elephant inside. Since the back of the snake is the one he draws as distended, it gets mistaken for the drawing of a hat the first time he shows it to other people.
Noncomedic example: According to the Zombie Survival Guide, since zombies don't digest human flesh, they can end up with distended stomachs fairly quickly.
In the Discworld novel Unseen Academicals, Mr. Nutt comes Back from the Dead, feeling hungry, and eats nine pies. (That's as many as three threes! And That's Terrible!) He's a pretty small chap, and, anyway, nine pies, and as such, is described as looking like a snake that swallowed a goat.
If I eat one more piece of pie, I'll die! If I can't have one more piece of pie, I'll die! So since it's all decided I must die, I might as well have one more piece of pie. MMMM--OOOOH--MY! Chomp--Gulp--'Bye.
Frequently happens in a realistic manner to characters in Jacqueline Wilson books. Probably most notably in 'Girls Under Pressure' in which the protagonist dabbles with bulimia.
In The Dresden Files, Harry pays his "spies" (fairies) in pizza. After they've violently consumed the pizza, they look like this for a few minutes, but they return to their normal shape in a few minutes.
