Here, Donnelly and Maslin offer a his-and-hers view of marriage, a cartoon conversation about all that love entails. From the wedding day (βAnd do you, Louise, take Jack to be your husband until really, really pissed-off do you part?β) to cohabitation (βAnd this is where I go to escape from where I go to escapeβ) to parenting (βDad says itβs all right with him if I watch TV as long as itβs not all right with youβ), husband and wife give us hilarious insights into the way relationships work. Cartoon Marriage shares clever takes on male/female communication (βYou could at least acknowledge the fact that Iβm ignoring youβ) and renovation (βIβve made a few improvements, but the way you see him now is pretty much the way I found Harold eleven years agoβ). And of course, what view of marriage would be complete without a trip to the bedroom: βOwen, look, the good-sex fairy.β
Featuring more than two hundred hilarious cartoons, Cartoon Marriage is a deliciously witty true-to-life look at matrimony, children, happiness, connubial squabbling, and everything in between.
