Eh, I think it’s cute. Neither skeleton is gendered with bonetits or pink wraps or a tie and it doesn’t come off as hateful, it’s just observational humor about how different sleeping styles can cause friction.
That’s kind of okay, isn’t it? Sure not every woman is a sheet-steeler, but woman tend to be more cold than man and steeling the sheet when cold is more of an instict and less of an ‘I hate my wife’ vibe
I’m the cold one and have learned to take an extra blanket to bed. My spouse, the warm one, gets to control the thermostat. I can always throw on an extra blanket, but when it’s sweltering and all coverings are thrown aside, it’s hard to sleep.
Yeah, this is fine. Not every joke about relationship dynamics is problematic, unlike what communities like this might make you believe.
It can really pay off to have undersized blankets on the bed. (If a queen or King size bed, then twin sized blankets.) Then each person has their own. So long as the blanket count is not wildly different, the bedspread makes the bed look fine when the bed is made.
I went in the other direction and have a super king duvet for a king bed. Highly recommend going a size up.
I don’t think gender is implied at all in this comic.
