- In the comic strip, Alex uses an ad hominem fallacy by attacking Sam’s look rather than engaging in the arguments made about Sam being a breadwinner. Alex states that Sam is "skinny," and then uses that statement to question Sam's claim to be a breadwinner. This is a logical error because Alex personally attacks Sam based on their appearance instead of addressing the real point of the conversation. An ad hominem fallacy occurs when someone tries to discredit an argument by attacking the person who made the argument, and not the argument itself. In this case, Alex's comment about Sam's look does not engage with the topic at hand, which is the value and impact of both Sam and Alex's jobs. By making this personal attack, Alex moves from the values of their respective jobs and the potential for a meaningful argument.

- You’re right… I guess that was a low blow. Being a breadwinner isn’t about looks. It’s about how we support the people we care about.
- Exactly. We both work hard. Let’s respect each other’s grind.
