I didn't know they were related, but now I look, the resemblance is striking! I haven't seen one of their movies in such a long time either. A few years ago, on late night cable, I think.

With absolute certainty, I state that Karl and Groucho Marx are unrelated in every way that matters. As for the Evil Housewife, in spirit and with tongue firmly in cheek, yes. I got the idea from my mom. She used to come up with absurd thing that she could do if she chose.
When her friend was in the hospital with breast cancer, she wrote this recipe book about a series of six very bland recipes using six seasons and six ingredients. Slowly, you serve your family blander and blander food using less and less seasoning with the idea that they'll eat less and less over time as they grow sick of your cooking. My dad has always been totally biased in favor of women to the point we tease him that he'll believe anything a woman says and always takes the side of women over common sense, lol. He used to tell my mom that if she got tired of him, she had permission to take him out. We kind of had a dark sense of humor in our family and we're all very verbal. Anyway, the evil housewife idea was inspired a bit by this background.
