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.
imagine in the 1930’s you could pump comics out like this for a living.
1930s? That was like peak “Man of the House” era. The dumb dad trope wasn’t a thing til later in the 1900s.

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.
I read the 100 years ago today sub, 100%. Though it needs more tophat.
