I used to think that divorce was an easy escape from marriage; it allowed people to rush into commitment and then hire an attorney to finalise the demise of something that was just not perfect enough. It seemed like a golden ticket in every Willy Wonka chocolate bar. Then I met a 63-year-old woman who told me that obtaining a divorce was the best decision that she had ever made and that, while she still loved her ex-husband, they just couldn’t make it work. Having waited for her children to grow up and settle down, she filed for a divorce at the age of 61.
 Congo and Steve from creator John “J.” Lampinen of www.congoandsteve.com. This strip, on the theme of Listening: “Listening to Others.”

This week in the Jungle we are searching for the truth about wealthy—what it means to be wealthy, how that differs around the world, and if and when wealthy people deserve to be treated differently than everyone else. Last week: poverty. Next week: big government.
