The punchline logic is full of bear fertilizer. Many happily married couples have different sleeping habits and needs, the only sensible solution is separate beds and even bedrooms.
Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Yes, but unfortunately this particular bear couple is having marital issues π
Papa bear's bed was very hard, Mama bear's bed was very soft. They might just have incompatible mattress needs.
"Dad snores and corrective surgery is considered elective by our insurance and not covered."
Honestly, I do snore like a bear, and this is why we have a βbail out bedβ in another room. Even I use it sometimes when sheβs snoring. Like last night, for instance.
The "Bail out Bed" was a flawed idea because no one wants to get up and relocate in the middle of the night and interrupt their sleep cycles.
He snores, he always snores, tonight won't be any different, so why don't I just start in the bail out bed so once I fall asleep I stay asleep and the human freight train I shacked up with doesn't wake me up.
He finally got a Cpap last year for his obstructive sleep apnoea.
but we'd slept in separate beds for 5 years, and I was used to sleeping alone and having full control over my temperature and I'm a fidgety sleeper, so we couldn't get used to sharing a bed again.
I think both of us being well rested and refreshed each day is more important to the health of our relationship than sharing a bed. If we're not fatigued, headachey and cranky, we can spend quality time together outside of bed.
"How long, mama?"
"Well... how old are you?"
There was a time when you weren't allowed to show a bed for two on TV in the USA.
O shit was that one joke at the beginning of wandavisiom when they were in the early sitcom and pushed the beds together?
It's also why Bert and Ernie had two beds.
Thankfully, they allowed Charlie Bucket's grandparents to have a bed for four.
Yes indeed
Even for married couples. The Dick Van Dyke show was one example. Twin beds in the bedroom, separated by a nightstand.
When Mary Tyler Moore got her own show, they aired it before the Dick Van Dyke show, so no one would think they had gotten divorced.
Well son, because of thins like the Hayes Code, mom and I canβt share a bed. You know, β¦because the childrenβ¦
hussy
My brain has been so badly poisoned by the internet that I initially failed to read that as the actual word.
Wait, there's am actual meaning to that word?
#BringBackHussy
Wait, what's the internet definition of the word?
I thought hussy was a synonym for "loose woman"
What does it mean now days?
Edit: oh, it's not that hussy has a different definition on the internet, it's that it looks like "bussy" if you're not looking closely?
Which I never read correctly anyway because I see it written like that and in my head I'm saying "bah see" not "buo see"
Two beds = Happier, plus you get more choices about whose bed to have sex in, and can have more compartmentalized and meaningful quality time together. Better control over distance and needs.
The comic is extra dumb because they all clearly needed different kinds of mattresses.
Cats have the right idea. Every room should have at least one place that's good to sleep in.
I sleep in a big bed with my wife
Clearly this isn't the arrangement Mama Bear and Papa Bear originally had.
Mommy bear: "someone has been sleeping in my bed!"
Daddy bear, muttering: "yeah, who hasn't?"
this comic didn't need the last panel.
