Thank you! It’s really just a quick sketch of a relationship here. Oh god, making H play nicely with the captain is a 24/7 job. Pot Barbara has her hands full.
The cartoon is infuriating but not a crisis. It’s rumour, nothing more. And it’s thankfully the survivable kind of rumour - the worst thing that might happen here is everyone thinks either a) Barbara has an insatiable appetite, b) H is so unsatisfactory in bed she has to seek comfort elsewhere, or c) he’s an idiot. They do not think d) he’s the one sleeping with Bush. So it’s not a dangerous cartoon, just rude.
Yes, they ought to be extra nice to her. It’s an unfortunate fact that as a woman she would be the main target. She’ll weather it, though.

I’m glad!
