That’s a slave collar.

LOL! I’ve always thought it to be odd and peculiar.

At least it’s not a bow tie, although that probably would have been a good choice for this comic.

Somehow I find this strip today disconcerting. A foreboding?

Scary…..we’re dealing with cave man mentalities…..

I was told, a long, long time ago that the concept of the neck tie goes back to the days when men of faith wore prayer shawls. In time, when those became ‘politically incorrect’ men adapted a smaller version worn about the neck as a subtle replacement to the shawl. perhaps just urban legend…but I like the way it sounds.

Now we have face masks!

Oh no..history repeats itself.

The Neck Tie to hang yourself after working at your boring job, but don’t want to quit because the check don’t bounce

Plus they took drugs every morning or they could not function.

“Most experts, however, date the initial appearance of the modern precursor of the tie to 1636. Croatian mercenaries, hired in Paris by King Louis XIV, wore cloth bands around their necks to ward off natural elements, which included sword slashes.” (Wash. Post) It is a foolish and (IMHO) uncomfortable fashion. But not as uncomfortable as the high heels that many women may wear.

Office attire is a strange thing.. Men wear coats and expose as little skin as possible while women do the opposite.

And further in the future they put 2 pieces of cloth around their necks!

So…somewhere in the future we get bombed back into the stone ages? I always thought that was just an expression!

Kinda reminds you of your cave dwellings, don’t it.
