There was also a pretty hard "Father knows best" course correction in the 50s after the "Yes We Can!" movement of the 40s, particularly in 1950s pop culture such as sitcoms and movies and newspaper comic strips that are still considered to be iconic today. The 1950s 'dutiful housewife' imagery sunk pretty deep into America's subconscious and part of that was the whole "She tries to be independent but her place is really in the kitchen" trope.


Edit: but that lead to some hilarious-in-hindsight comic strips, especially in advertising:

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
Beau Peep had a somewhat racist nomad character as well - the best I can say is that most jokes were irrelevant to his race, like when he tries to buy a camel costume to sneak into the fort and a mix up causes him to recieve a kangaroo outfit instead, or the really cute moment where after being conned into buying a golf club thinking it's a sword (his whole subplot is that he's such a loser his tribe have kicked him out until he could come back with the head of an enemy warrior) he comes across Beau and his Idiot friend Dennis buried up to their necks in sand, so his club has become the perfect weapon, a coincidence that he finds hilarious.

Overall I liked that strip, the Nomad was always somewhat mixed quality though.

But he’d have fit the guy on the upper right just fine.

People deny who they are and disfigure their bodies and identities to try to fit in, when they’d be perfectly at home if they were willing to accept a little risk and the people around them were willing to accept a little paradigm change. A Good Comic.

He'd break the edge up with his head though, plus he'd create an edge where there's clearly not meant to be one.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I haven’t read a paper that carries Andy Capp in a long time, but as I recall she was usually waiting to ambush him with a rolling pin or some such and tended to gently caress him up pretty well when they fought. Wasn’t the joke more that he was a totally worthless drunk and she was always justifiably pissed off about it?

Nope, he beat his wife and a lot of the strips had his wife all beat up and bruised as the punchline

To be fair, she used to beat him as well. And they both got into brawls with other people.

I don't think he does any more, actually. The characters are toned way down in the modern version.

They were both terrible. He was a violent, womanising drunk. She was a violent, spiteful gambler. He was worse than her in basically every way, but it wasn't all one-sided. These days they're not so violent any more, Andy's more lazy than alcoholic and his attempts at picking up other women are treated as hopelessly inept (whereas he used to be quite successful), and Flo doesn't gamble any more. I like the old strips. They're terrible people, but that's intentional. The modern ones are just a bland, unfunny version of the Lockhorns.
