Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for October 29, 2022

She’s not happy until you’re unhappy

…that he caused.

OMG she is THE worst! I wish she’d take a happy trail alone and stumble off a cliff.

Solution: separate vacations.

Only Opal is worse to Earl!

He never is seen at work. Junior is never shown as a latch-key kid. I would say cartoon-character is the easiest gig in the world.

He needs to get away from her for longer than just a vacation. They are just too dissimilar to be together.

So in this story arc, Bub tried hiking. He didn’t enjoy it. He obviously spent some time bothered by that, knowing that Betty enjoyed it and would want to do it again. He opens up to her about how he honestly feels about the matter, and she just tries to pressure and guilt him into “enjoying” it. I guess on some distant planet this is considered a punchline or funny, but it REALLY puts Betty in a nasty light. Bub did no wrong in this encounter, and she’s just heaping it on. Bad Betty, Bad! Junior, get me the rolled up newspaper…

You’re married to Betty, there are no vacations… ☺

when I was in the military I was told by a special forces member the only easy day was yesterday.

Unlike most of the posters, I am with Betty. Unhealthy, overweight Bud is the epitome of too many people whom I know.

Adventure: something really bad happening to someone else a long way off and/or a long time ago…

Divot. That there’s one of them French sofas. Classy.

Just received a catalog from a boot company and one of the hiking boots is called “Betty”. Happy trails!

I just wonder why some people read this comics if all they do is vent against Betty.

I don’t know, the strip is named Betty, not Bub. I think she’s very patient with this guy who doesn’t seem to know a whole lot about anything. Not sure why she’s always being picked on in comments.

My ex-wife used to complain that our vacations were exhausting. I work 6 am to 6 pm at a desk job, the only time I get to to out and see the world is on vacation. Summited Kilimanjaro twice, still planning on a 3rd (I’m now 63).

IDK why everyone who disagrees with Betty’s approach calls her evil for wanting her husband to be around for longer than he would be if he remained sedentary.
