This is from Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling.
It is snipped from a full-page thing he does every now and then, where he parodies shitty newspaper comics. Having read a lot of these, I believe he really really hates these comics and this is how he hurts them.
"Marital Mirth" is a recurring boomer wifebad comic.

I honestly can't tell if it's a legit "wife bad" comic or a parody of the trope.

I honestly can't tell how this comic is supposed to be funny.

It's a parody of the long-running (and terrible, in my opinion) daily comic "The Lockhorns." It seems I've fallen afoul of Poe's Law.
Whether it's funny as parody is up to personal taste, but I can at least confirm that it is intended in that spirit of parody and satire.
