The Hat Dating Methods of the Saggy Boobed


So I ask you, just how long do saggy boobed hillbillies wear hats anyway? I'm not much of a hat person, but I'm sure I could scare up one or two that I've had for a good long time. As far as I can recall, Loweezy only has one outfit: black skirt, red shirt, apron, and black kerchief. So, she doesn't seem to be the sort of person to wear things just once. What I'm saying is -- she could have had the hat in question for something like 15 years. Or more.

Now, this Marge "wif hubby number six" . . . that's a lot of hubbies regardless of Loweezy's hat dating method. So, I'm not doubting Loweezy's sentiment: Marge goes through husbands quickly. I'm just questioning Loweezy's semantics and choice of metaphor. Then again, Loweezy uses the word "ain't" on a regular basis, so if I get into criticizing her use of the English language we could be here for awhile.

There seems to be more to Loweezy's sentiment than just "Marge goes through husbands quickly." In panel one, Loweezy says that "it ain't fair" that Marge goes through them so quickly. So, she isn't criticizing Marge's prediliction for marriage -- she envies it! Or, she envies the fact that she's not with each hubby for very long. I guess if I was married to Snuffy Smith, I, too, might envy someone moving on to greener pastures.
