Most of us do not put on a bra like this. You turn it around, do the hook from the front and then swivel the bra 180 degrees so the hook is in the back. OR you just buy the ones that hood in the front.
Nature and bra design help…. it’s harder to get more hooks and eyes lined up, so when we’re young, we can often wear bras with just one hook. After we’re proficient, we need to go to two hooks. Then three. Then four.
But on the rare occasions I’ve worn a longline bra, yeah, I do it like dlkrueger33 in her comment.
Both Arlo and Janis need to hit the gym. Both are getting a little chunky. Either that or the author needs to sharpen his pencils. Of course the author could be projecting. which is probably the case.
I know it dates me to but twenty years ago the host on WGN for the AM commute was Bob Collins. He had a way with turning an expression. One morning he said he wanted a new computer with just more. He quipped he wanted a “four hooker” which, by the looks of panel one, is what Janis needs.
This reminds me of a very funny scene between Penny and Sheldon from an episode of “The Big Bang Theory”, which was repeated just yesterday, where she has dislocated her shoulder in the bathtub and he is trying to help her get dressed (without looking):
Penny: Now, you gotta help me get my arm into the sleeve.
Ah, yes. This strip brings back memories of the first time that I saw my girlfriend putting her bra back on. She hooked it front, spun it around, and then corralled the girls. I had no idea that it could be put on that way. As one might imagine, I was fascinated.
Interesting. No one has commented on the primary oddity in the strip. Is the first time that Arlo has seen Janis put on her bra? Something ain’t right here. Maybe I am missing something. Maybe he just never thought about the gymnastics of it.
If anyone sees this … I leave my bras hooked all the time, through washer, clothesline, and drawer. I just wriggle into the bra when I’m dressing. It’s easy! (I am 87 years old.) Wriggle out at bedtime.

Arlo only learned the process in reverse, helping others in community spirit.

Practice, Arlo. Daily practice.

I have been wearing bras for at least 50 years, and I can’t do that. Never have been able to hook it like that.

hook it in front, spin it around, THEN put your arms through. Easy

Sheldon: OK.
Penny: Is that my arm?
Sheldon: It doesn’t feel like an arm.
Penny: Then maybe you should let it go.
Sheldon: [pause] All righty.

Truly, there are real differences between a man’s and a woman’ physiology and not just the obvious differences……

Sad to say, the dynamic duo is showing their age(s). Janis still is in the “squeezable” zone though. 8^ )

The Mrs has all hers with front closure. I suspect she has told the girls, but truthfully, I don’t know.
