The Better Half is the title of an American comic strip created by Bob Barnes. It follows the lives of a married couple Stanley and Harriet Parker and the usual annoyances couples have with one another after years of marriage. It has been distributed by King Features Syndicate since 1956 and in 1958 won Barnes the National Cartoonist Society Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award. James Coco and Lily Tomlin made a sitcom pilot based on the strip for ABC in the early 1970s but no series was ever made.
