      There really is so much. According to wikipedia, it ran for 20 years until 1927, then was basically forgotten until some paper started reprinting them in the 1980s.

      I’m trying to spread them out as best as I can.

        Thank you!

        Edit: well, after a quick Look through of Mr. Everett True it appears the OP comic is one of the few supporting a more legit view. Otherwise he’s just a selfish and violent jerk with no tact or desire to be publicly tolerant of things everyone does to get along in society. He doesn’t mind cracking skulls over irritations. All couched in the premise of “that’s how we all really feel” to make it OK. He’s into shaming and beating kids, throwing women into prison for whatever irritation their kid generates, etc.

          Yeah, this was indeed one of the only good ones.

          The rest is just complaining about anything.

    Good start.

    Now learn that there are people who don’t even like the word “lady” because of its etymological origin.

    The “l” and “a” are effectively those of the word “loaf”, and the “-dy” comes from a word meaning “dough-worker”. That is, “lady” is the title for someone who makes the bread. The one who does the cooking. The one whose place is in the kitchen.

    The person who taught me this was fine with the descriptor “woman” on account of “man” being the species first. They considered later male-specific interpretations to be irrelevant.

    Edit: Now are the downvotes because they don’t agree with this argument, or because I chose this place and time to bring this up. Hmm.
