This comic is hilarious because John is planning to cannibalize his wife.In all seriousness, reading through For Better or For Worse reruns, I'm struck by what a gigantic asshole John is most of the time. As I recall, this--like pretty much everything else in the strip--would mellow out over time, but I kind of hate him now.
The thing to keep in mind is, the "real" John became even more of an asshole in real life, eventually ditching Lynn Johnston and absconding with quite a bit of her money. I think part of the reboot plan is to make sure he gets what's coming to him - on the comics page, at least. (And maybe Farley will live this time around.)
