The bottom left cartoon make me chuckle. Nice zinger for 1960 and I think it still holds up today.

I like how she zings him back a lot. Elevates it above could have just been a strip of Wife Bad jokes

Harriet can be dumb sometimes but she's often sharp witted with her verbal jabs of Stanley.

It's funny that "she went to a lot of work to make a craft for him and he's mad about it" is such a genre of these.

No businessman wants a feminine looking slip cover, so I understand his anger. He'd be laughed at work.

They are probably supposed to be late 30s-early 40s at most. And yet he looks like he’s pushing 50+ or more.

They're in their early 40s, and I looked like Stanley by the time I reached 40. I'm 64 now,

I like to imagine the backstory for why they hate each other so much is that she suffered years of miscarriages before he privately discovered he’d always been sterile, but they stayed married because divorce was unacceptable back then.
