Eh, sometimes the corporate solution is to add more horses, just not horses that are immediately (or sometimes ever) useful. Horses that have maybe never pulled a cart before or have only ever pulled carts solo. Horses that need a month of training to be able to contribute meaningfully, often through no fault of their own, but are told that this cart needs to be pulled out of the mud in two weeks. And then when the original horses tell the cart driver that it's going to take a month to get everyone up to speed, they completely miss the point and ask how many more horses we need.

Ya know, I'm not so sure that the old comic is necessarily just criticizing flapper girls. The way I understand the bottom text is "These are the qualities that women of these generations need to have to make men want to marry them", so I think it's also saying that the young men nowadays have wacky tastes as well.

If you want to be even more charitable, which is probably undeserved I know, there's nothing explicitly written in the comic to indicate that the artist thinks one side is necessarily better than the other, just that things are different now than they used to be. It's possible that it was created by a young guy who thinks the stuff on the left is lame and old fashioned and the stuff listed on the right kicks ass.

Fuck the manosphere though.

Hey now, maybe he's not getting fired (lol) because of what a shit job he's been doing, maybe he's voluntarily stepping down from his dangerous job to be a family man. This is pure speculation derived from his arm being around what appears to be a pregnant person.

Oh, yeah, I could see that being the way it was intended. It's tough to convey the passage of time in pictures.

My pro tip for the dad and people wanting to be like the dad is to lead with the important information and then show the meme. Or even better, keep your partner in the loop regarding the stuff you're doing as you're doing it, at least when you're doing this kind of stuff that is on multiple peoples' radars. That way they don't even start freaking out.

Bro ain't limping, he's strutting like a super cool guy because of all that sweet pegging he's getting.

My wife and I planted one a couple years ago and I've been bummed that I haven't seen a single caterpillar on it yet this year. It's nice and big now compared to its first season when the monarch caterpillars absolutely demolished its leaves.

I have one that looks like Kirby. Instead of Daddy, he calls me Dedede.
