Patty Bouvier: Marge's Wicked Sister [The Simpsons Timelines] 

😂 I guess so, passive smoking is seriously injurious.

That's a really deep and thorough analysis. Thanks for your comment! It is no secret that the older series of The Simpsons depicted the characters in a more natural form and the plot and personalities are more thoughtfuly written, while the later episodes are more about simple in-your-face jokes. But I've never thought of this side of Patty, which is a shame because reading your comment I realise that you're right.

@@The-Simpsons-Universe I would like to add that despite all of the implications Patty did not like Skinner during the first date- only indifference towards Skinner initially (admitting to even trying to "repel him" to Selma), going because of Selma, shaving and makeup and a nice dress only because of Marge/Selma, utterly hating the restaurant and movie (blatantly telling Selma that too), refusing to let Skinner touch her at the movie, no wanting to go on another date, and refusing to let Skinner kiss her. Skinner's date with Patty wasn't entirely one-sided. Despite many claims that Patty didn't truly like Skinner, I don't believe that's true. It's very evident Patty did grow to like Skinner- the few moments she did enjoy at the restaurant, movie, and even their walk back. Patty enjoyed her time with Skinner the second date and voluntarily dressed nicely for him. There's no other explanation why she continued to voluntarily go on more dates with him. It's obvious Patty even enjoyed her kiss with Skinner rather than just comply. Patty was genuinely sad too after rejecting Skinner- her face and voice. Why else would Patty sound genuinely sad when explaining her breakup to Selma? Contrast her behavior to her first date with Skinner. We can even debunk claims Patty rejected out of being a lesbian. Patty is heavily implied many times to have dated and hold intimate encounters with men many times. Patty is actually rather bi than a complete lesbian. Patty genuinely rejected Skinner for Selma- Patty was upset to see Selma on a date with a drunk and even Skinner commented Patty seemed to be preoccupied. One of the later Treehouse of Horror episodes even display Patty wailing and begging Selma not to leave her- she blatantly tells Selma she cannot function without her. These are one of the few subtle elements the modern Simpsons still retains true to this day- Patty and Selma. They'll always be my favorite characters of the show. ;)

I would say that Selma is somewhere between Patty and Marge. While Marge is pure goodness, Patty is pure evil... 😀

@@The-Simpsons-Universe that's definitely the best way to describe Selma

In an episode there hair was confirmed pale blond and ginger Just look grey/purple bc if all the ash in there hair And while everyone in simpsons are yellow...people of colour have had a more ''natural'' skin colour to see it clearly Except there very curly hair there is nothing hinting at what you said.
