imagine in the 1930’s you could pump comics out like this for a living.
From the 1950s to the 2010s you could pump out sitcoms like this for a living. At least this particular comic makes it so blunt as to highlight the absurdity, and subverts the expectation a bit by having the stupid dad express some real human emotion.
I feel like a 30’s dad wouldn’t cry so much as repress his emotions and drink though.
Don’t forget beating the wife and son! The “golden years” as it were.
1930s? That was like peak “Man of the House” era. The dumb dad trope wasn’t a thing til later in the 1900s.
I read the 100 years ago today sub, 100%. Though it needs more tophat.
Oh :(
:'(
To be clear folks, this is an anti joke. Dissecting it is a waste of Fediverse storage space.
I’m dad…
Same :'(
Ha… ha. :(
If we ignore the wife being a cunt, I wouldnt let my dad try to fix a toaster. Things that run on Transformers with lower voltage is free game but anything with parts that runs directly on main power is going in the trash* or a proper repairman.
*by trash I mean recycling station.
I’d be more concerned about ripping into anything with a capacitor. Microwaves are absolutely off-limits if you don’t know what you’re doing.
I can hear the laugh track from here
Taking things full circle, in this one wife = bad
Damn, that one hit home way too close.
Dad’s stupid what?
Dad’s contraction of the words “dad” and “is” :)
Indeed it’s.
Barely related, but I wish the English-speaking world would bring back 'tis and 'twas.
