From the 1950s to the 2010s you could pump out sitcoms like this for a living. At least this particular comic makes it so blunt as to highlight the absurdity, and subverts the expectation a bit by having the stupid dad express some real human emotion.

I feel like a 30’s dad wouldn’t cry so much as repress his emotions and drink though.
Don’t forget beating the wife and son! The “golden years” as it were.
1930s? That was like peak “Man of the House” era. The dumb dad trope wasn’t a thing til later in the 1900s.
I read the 100 years ago today sub, 100%. Though it needs more tophat.
