Jumbobrain Don’t you think domestic abuse affects men too> Perhaps a man does not call the police and say “My wife hit me with a rolling pin and I’m too much of a wimp to move out.”
Yeah Lew, you’re right…I sacrificed literal accuracy for the sake of clever wordplay, which is never a good thing. Men are indeed sometimes victims of domestic violence, and to deny that feeds a bad stereotype. My apologies.
I think it’s fair though to say that A, the vast majority of domestic violence victims are in fact women and children; B, it’s not a very good name for a comic strip; and C, at least from this sample, this doesn’t seem to be a particularly funny comic strip.

Wow, a completley unfathomable comic with a title whose clever wordplay evokes violence against women and children. What’s not to like?

I like the title because it causes one to think of things outside the box. He’s abusing domestic items for a laugh.
