I feel like there’s more to this cartoon than just the fact that he’s wearing crocheted hats. He’s also wearing an apron and appears to be cooking (or preparing to cook) while she is leaning apronless against a counter with a mug in one hand of her casually folded arms.
I’m seeing a darker scenario: her body language--crossed arms, crossed legs, double-x--tells me she’s saying one thing and feeling another. I give them six months in couples therapy followed by a divorce. She hates that friggin’ stinky beanie, and probably the tempeh and rice he’s cooking for dinner for the thousandth time.

I agree! Telling a story is often in the details. Great that you saw that, thanks!

You made me laugh out loud, Peter! And I'm not an easy laugh out louder!
