Comic Treats Domestic Violence as a Joke

Anonymous User writes, "Something's been nagging at me. Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse comic depicts a guy being beaten up by two girls (one of whom is one of the main characters). Admittedly he was being a cad and dating both of them, but I don't think violence should be tolerated regardless. Am I being too alarmist by submitting this? No matter how I look at it it seems like Johnston's saying Domestic Violence is okay as long as the person is bad." Or male - does anyone really think she would depict two men beating up a woman that was two-timing them?
