(4,015 posts)If this didn't even raise eyebrows back then. The wife is discussed as some kind of retarded animal, not a human being. I read it for the Lulz (love that retro stuff) but now I'm feeling kind of depressed. How did my mother and grandmother turn out to be such decent persons when subjected to such shit? Not that things are rosy today... But this comic boggles my mind. What kind of man would even want a wife like that?
