TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (textless; Jonathan spawled in the ground in the foreground, Alex still on the porch looking surprised)
Panel 2 (also textless; close-up of Alex being surprised)
Panel 3 (Jonathan, angry)
Jonathan: Bitch!
Panel 4 (Jonathan rising to his feet)
Jonathan: You come into my home… turn my wife against me… get in my business… who the hell are you? She was fine until you showed up!
Panel 5 (Alex, arms spread, yelling)
Alex: She was not fine! You were just getting away with it! You don’t even know what you have! You just care about what you’ll lose!
Panel 6 (Jonathan, super close-up)
Jonathan: Lose? Are you winning her?
The way he’s twisting every single thing to make himself the victim, it’s both classic and and absolutely makes your skin crawl
Totally agree. I’m hoping Alex will not pay attention to anything he says.
Wow and here i thought he was just a lazy clueless lout who was cozy with having a domestic servant. The true levels of toxic masculinity are oozing all over.
Who pointed a gun at his head and forced him to cheat on his wife? Just wondering….
That line under the comic… Jonanthan’s gonna try something real stupid to “win” Imogen back and end up causing some trauma isn’t he.
Oh goodie, playing the DARVO game, are we. (for those not in the know, it stands for Deny – Attack – Reverse – Victim -Offender)

I still vote that Alex should hit him w a brick.
I vote for a resolution that doesn’t cause Nolan to end up in foster care.
Alex acted in self defence to kick him and I really love that she reacts with shock that he might actually be hurt. She super hates him but doesn’t actually want to fight him.
I like that too
Ya know, at first I was just like, he’s just a moron who doesn’t know how good he’s got it. Then I was like, he’s a creepy moron who hits on his wife’s friends in front of said wife. And now? Now I’m pretty sure he’s just a douchebag wearing a human mask.
Also, yeah, how dare Alex come into his home and turn Imogen against him by cheating on her with his girlfriend! Or wait…
Also also:
It’s over, Jonathan. I have the high ground.
“…but no, we have a few more miles to go until he sleeps.”
is… is this a promise?
