>It's a "character is too poor to afford clothes/they somehow lost their clothes so they have to wear a barrel" scenario
I always wondered how they hooked straps up to the barrel. It seems hard to do.
>>82046027
I guess you can nail old suspenders into the inside of the barrel, it is just wood
but then you'd have protruding sharp nails that'll poke people but you are dirt poor so no one wants to be around you so no problem
At least it isn't a flour sack.
>>82044177
It's like you don't appreciate the classic gags.
>>82046107
Just nail them from the outside in so you don't offend anyone.
>character is in science class
>E=MC2 and the solar system is scribbled on the board
Every fucking time in every fucking series ever
>>82046413
then you got the pointy end pointing toward you
you know what, just hammer the point to the side or steal a file or a hacksaw to make them dull nubs
>>82046413
Yeah, and then you can ram into people with your protruding nail-nipples!
>>82046107

once you've nailed the suspenders in, strike the protruding ends so the nail bends, continue until sharp end of nail is flush with barrel.
Do they still make wooden barrels now?
Are they cheaper than clothes?
Are writers lazy hacks, who rely on hundred year old gags?
>>82049733
Yeah, they should update it to something more modern. Like wearing clothing made of old cell phones stringed together.
>Bart's teeth not coloured in
trig'd
>>82046512
well you dont want them forgetting what E equals
>>82049733
in the first place the gag was already kind of a stretch, being that it was a german punishment for drunkenness
>>82046512
Futurama always broke that rule
>>82044177
I legitimately can't tell if this is badly drawn rule34 or an average quality Simpsons comic.Why do Bongo Comics suck so much?That's rhetorical.
>>82044177
This joke makes no sense. You can most likely get clothing from a marked down store cheaper than you can get a barrel.
>>82050220
I still can't believe Simpsons comics exist and have done so for over 20 years. And I've even read a few.

>Do they still make wooden barrels now?
If you live in Chile, Argentina. Australia, Spain, Italy, Germany, France and California you know they are pretty cheap
>>82049733
they still make wooden barrels.
they're only cheaper than clothes if you wear bullshit 6000 dollar designer shit
>>82049733
fun fact!: a barrel maker is properly called a cooper

>they're only cheaper than clothes if you wear bullshit 6000 dollar designer shit
Not at all, you can buy a barrel for less than $20 in
>>82050722
But it will be used, and it will smell bad, really bad. Just drive to the local winery and talk to someone about used ones that are not longer being used.
Hipsters and rich idiots pay hundreds for polished barrels that are exactly the same.
t. i work on a winery
The comic always tried to deliver...
>>82054226
you get one
>>82044177
I bet they didn't even have the guts to show Bart losing his barrel later on.
