New Yorker Tip

This is a New Yorker type  style cartoon, because they just love cartoons that put down men, throw insults, and discuss the big shame:  money. Also, the New Yorker likes to include a dog, for no reason.  That just proves how quirky they are!

Size of a man’s income

But, girlfriends, don’t tell me this very same thought about guys you are dating hasn’t crossed your mind from time to time! How does his income measure up?  Is he financially solvent? Can a man hold up his end of the deal? And if you have kids or want to write a script, can this guy support you for a season?

I mean, I admire a couple of women attorneys I know who married an unsold scriptwriter, or a househusband. One doctor married a stay at home Dad. This happens. But not in the world of struggling cartoonists or writers, it doesn’t. He has to pay half of everything. Without whining.

Listen to Lassie

As far as trusting your pet to help you make good choices, they see different colors, hear different things, and might very well help you on something you are not sure about in a relationship. Listen to Lassie.
