I think the best part of this comic strip is in the first panel where you can see that Farley completely won the battle yesterday so John had to move to the other side of the couch.
A little peace and quiet once in a while is nice, but a little noise and distraction is worth it when the quiet becomes silence and the peace become inactivity.
We had one bathroom in our house on 5th Street. If Dad came home in a bad mood, we all ran for the comfort of the “throne” before he could lock himself in there and relax. I once went to visit Harry Morgan (of “Mash” fame.) While showing me around their LA house, his wife said, “Lynn, Harry and I have been married a long time and I gotta tell you, the secret to a happy marriage is having separate bathrooms!” I have to agree.
Truly a mans “Fortress of Solitude”. A tradition passed down from father to son. Some of my best reads have been on the pot in the wee (no pun) hours. Lol!

What John needs is a man cave. Like a workshop with model locomotives.

A man’s home is his castle, so never deny “the king” his time on the throne!

Get a hammock and go outside for the fresh air and read.

No wife, no kids, I visit and it makes me appreciate my nice quiet home when I leave.

Monticello; Thomas Jefferson’s home, had an enclosed gazebo where he would sit to read or think.

Yeah, but who had the kids?

I have never understood why anyone would want to read in the bathroom. Once you’re done with “business”, the seat is just downright uncomfortable.

A lot of a persons miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
