Or maybe the neighbor is divorce lawyer him/herself and this is just an extra card of his that was thrown out by mistake? Or maybe the trashman (and Hi) should be reassured because the neighbor threw the card away rather than kept it? Obviously he/she does not need or want it.

It's not the divorce lawyar card in the trash that's significant; it's one that's *not* in the trash. Even ignoring the privacy concerns, the joke falls flat.

If I didn't know better, I would say that one of Dean's modified comics made it into syndication. So….. what exactly is funny about invasion of privacy and divorce?

How many staff meetings do you suppose it took before the principals at Browne Amalgamated Industries agreed that "divorce" was a sufficiently scandalous replacement for whatever perversity appeared in the original draft of the strip?
