  We prove a weak comparison principle in narrow unbounded domains for
solutions to $-\Delta_p u=f(u)$ in the case $2<p< 3$ and $f(\cdot)$ is a
power-type nonlinearity, or in the case $p>2$ and $f(\cdot)$ is super-linear.
  We exploit it to prove the monotonicity of positive solutions to $-\Delta_p
u=f(u)$ in half spaces (with zero Dirichlet assumption) and therefore to prove
some Liouville-type theorems.
