In celebration of the holiday of Presidents’ Day, I’m keeping my mouth shut today and relaxing, for once. However! Many of your favorite comic characters aren’t doing the same, but instead answering your problems in their own special way:
Dear Super Love,
My wife and I have been married 16 wonderful years. We met in grad school, and embarked on similar career paths upon graduation. She’s wonderful. A great mother to our two boys, a fantastic wife (who’s still beautiful and sexy after all these years), and a successful professional.
It’s that last bit that’s proving to be the problem. See, we’re in the same profession, but she’s advanced up the career ladder much faster than I have and now makes nearly twice what I do. To be honest, there are times that I don’t feel quite like a man.
I know it’s the 21st Century, but I was raised to believe that a man provides for his family. I’m supportive of my wife’s career and all, and my salary isn’t too shabby, but how do I get past this inferiority complex?

Wonder Woman Responds:
Dear TIMID:
Grow a set. Why the Gods see the need for my people to develop ties with Patriarch’s World, I will never know. “Still beautiful and sexy after all these years”? What is that supposed to mean? Unless you’re the lone mortal man incapable of growing doughy in his midsection and retain his entire glorious mane into his mid-life years, you’re hardly one to talk, tubby.
You’re whinier than Aquaman.
