Line 6:
** It's mostly for comic relief.
** My guess is that, back when Dagwood first went to work for Mr. Dithers, treating one's employees that way was [[Values Dissonance|socially and legally acceptable]] (well, apart from the kicking bit, which would've constituted assault even then), so it's simply grandfathered in as a recurring motif. Also, just because employers can no longer dismiss you without warning, or demote you from executive to stock boy or whatever, without risking a lawsuit, doesn't mean that a [[Bad Boss]] can't find all sorts of other non-actionable ways to abuse you.
** Interestingly, I had a relative who had a boss that had an uncanny resemblenceresemblance to Mr. Dithers's personality, his name even ''rhymed'' with "Dithers"
* Why do Dagwood and his son look like identical twins?
** Cloning, duh. [[Wild Mass Guessing|Why do you think that Dagwood has looked the same for 70 years?]] Whenever "Dagwood" gets old "Alexander" replaces him.
