Old Dutch Cleanser, 1937  (possibly a repeat?)



Where to start - Marriage = Cleaning or Wife = Cleaner?  Or "It'll be FUN keeping our house clean!"

Or "I'm not getting smarter, silly, I'm just buying better cleanser :giggle:"?

If she were smarter about housecleaning, she'd cleanse her house of the Mr. Hyper-Critical Who Won't Lift a Finger to Help.

I thought the creepiest part is where he doesn't call her "Darling" or "Sweetheart" or some other generic term of endearment... it's "young woman". WTF.

The shading in panel 2 makes it look as if the left half of her face is covered in bruises. I'm just sayin'.

And given how willing ads at the time were to show men spanking, neglecting, and otherwise ill-treating their wives, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

Why doesn't he lift a finger and do some cleaning too?

Because that's not his job, silly. He makes the money to support them, she uses that money to maintain a household worthy of his position in society.

Seismotite? Do they harvest it from fissures that open after earthquakes?

Almost. It's pumice, so still the product of earth-innard upset.

And, man, I really want Jimmie Walker to pitch it : "Seis - mo -TITE!!"
