cool how the Marital Mirth strip is a minimalist, deadpan recapitulation of the all-time great “two pickets to tittsburgh” joke, sans the superfluous pseudo-realistic fictionalization - payoff is a sober snort rather than a guilty guffaw - opens the door to an array of possible retelling styles, eagerly anticipated - at root, there are only a few stories

I keep thinking of Glasbergen’s “The Better Half”. “Unlike some other cartoon couples, “The Better Half” took a gentler, more affectionate and topical look at married life,” he says; I suppose the bar is pretty low.
