Welcome mat

Aren't welcome mats usually placed on the outside of a house rather than the inside? :)

Aren't nagging wives usually less attractive than that?~!!

Actually, nagging wives are often quite attractive, because attractive women are generally more demanding and selfish.

I hate women.

Nope... hotter wives/gf's are bigger naggers, because the hotter they are the more nagging they can get away with.

Also, I used to put a welcome mat on the inside... If you live in an apartment building or in the city, say, where you don't really have an outside doorstep?

agreed... I don't let my average looking wife get away with anything more than "minor nagging" yet hot girlfriends of the past were allowed more of a nagging allowance.

You'd want to inverse the 2/x. Trust me :)

Or if you're like me and don't want your neighbors to steal it!

Rob's been to my apartment a few times, either he's subtly poking fun at me or my pragmatic welcome mat skills are showing their lunacy.

Not in my experience. The nagging makes them seem less attractive, but in my experience the less attractive women go out of their way to make you happy - because they are afraid to lose you.

That's true.

Looks kind of like an apartment type of setup because the key hole is also on the outside. The sign above the door could suggest it being outside as well. Note though, that my use of outside refers to a common corridor that allows entry to apartments.

However, the mat is turned in a way to suggest that people coming through the door would read it... AND why would the wife be outside in slippers? Sorry, been watching way to much Columbo lately... :^)

Their shadows are falling on the door in a northeast direction. This means the source of light was coming from a southwesterly point. From this conclusion, if we extrapolate further upon the known placement angle of the 'Welcome' mat, we can determine that the joke is lost on those who nitpick small details.

Yes! Why is it that the comments for Rob's brilliant illustrations are always filled with nitpicking and serious discussions? Enjoy the joke!

Nicely done, Rob--and in color no less!

if you look at the walls it has decorations, totally showing that it is inside should of been first hint :)

We, as most people I find, have two mats. One rough one outside, softer one inside.

We do too, but the inside one doesn't say "welcome". That's normally the outdoor one's job.
