    Yay a wholesome meme! Too many “wife bad marriage annoying” memes so this one is a breath of fresh air.

            TIL it is shallow positivity to compliment and appreciate your wife. Y’all are fucking miserable. I’d hate to interact with anyone like you in real life.

              I think you misread the comment that you originally replied to. They are saying exactly the opposite of what you are saying here. “It’s NOT […] just shallow positivity”

              Still a tad cynical, though, since even the “shallow” wholesome memes still have good intentions most of the time (spreading a tiny bit of positivity is better than spreading negativity) - though I can understand the perspective that if it’s too shallow it can rub you the wrong way especially if you’re having a bad day - like being told “just cheer up!” if you’re depressed

      I agree! Before I left reddit, there was this comic that basically spammed the sad comics subreddit before being exiled to its own. It was called “Marriage is Bliss” and I absolutely hate it. It’s all about how horrible the wife is and how pathetic the husband is, and how much his life sucks. This strip is sweet, I like it. I can relate to it.

    The author of this comic strip came to our house one time when I was little. He was visiting some family at Pickwick Lake (I think) and somehow came over to our house with some of my stepmom’s friends. I absolutely couldn’t believe it that somebody famous was there with us at our house. He seemed like a really nice person and he left a couple of doodles of our dogs and an autograph for me and my brother.

    I just sent this to my wife and asked her what she thought it meant. She said “that you don’t get bored seeing them every day”. I corrected her and said “more to the point that even after seeing many sunsets, they are still beautiful and amazing”.

      “Just like a sunset, they get lower every time I look at them”… not to say they’re not still beautiful haha.

            i shudder to imagine what the disclaimer text is like on that commercial.

            "Scrotox is known to the State of California to cause genocide, hair loss, mania, toe-nail yellowing and violent outbursts of gibberish. Stop taking Scrotox immediately if you experience shortness of breath, priapism, a sudden urge to taste the color orange, see seven or more sets of twins in a one hour period, experience auditory or olfactory hallucinations leading to suicidal or homicidal ideation, especially if they’re suggestions from a voice known as “the Sun God”.

            Do Not Trust The Sun God.

            Never use Scrotox more than once per 1.27 per lunation, or 1.64 solar years.

            Scrotox was created in partnership with the BioDefense division of Mattel.

      and I thank my lucky stars to see each one. Life is short. When possible, ogle at your mate’s bits, it’s worth your time.

    There’s an episode of ‘Malcolm In The Middle’ where the job forces Lois to wear make-up. Hal sees her and and becomes feverish. Later on, she refuses to wear the make-up, comes home, and Hal sees her and becomes feverish.

      Isn’t that the same episode that Hal and Lois realized they never went more than a day without sex since they met, and spent the entire time avoiding each other?

        Different one. In the one I’m talking about a customer solicits Lois, she marches him into her manager’s office and makes him confess. She isn’t not raging mad, to her it’s just proof that the make up is demeaning. After she leaves it turns out the customer is the manager’s brother in law.

        There’s also an episode where Hal and Lois can’t have sex for a month. He paints the house, replants the yard, and gets a promotion at work…

    Slightly off topic but is there a name for this boomer art style? I don’t mean just this artist in particular, but any comic/illustration that is very clearly made by a geriatric.
