From the Wikipedia entry on Andy Capp:

Until the 1980s [Andy Capp] was always seen with a cigarette dangling from his lip until it was deemed politically incorrect. Similarly, he no longer indulges in fisticuffs with Florrie because of concerns about the depiction of domestic violence, even though their fights were always drawn in a stylised fashion so as to avoid offense, and in any case Florrie always gave as good as she got.


You don't get to read stuff like this in Britannica.

Why yes, this is the second consecutive post to deal with both Wikipedia and domestic abuse.
