Hubby used to wear plain black or brown socks; got a hole in one and tossed it. Then he discovered fancy socks, which means if you get a hole, you have to throw away both socks. I use embroidery floss and darn them. He thinks it’s a marvelous idea. “I didn’t know you could do that!”
Reminds me of when I was in Girl Guides and had to darn a sock for a badge. I was making a mess of things so my mother “helped” me out and did the whole darn. Guess what – she didn’t pass! Dad and I never let her forget it.

just toss the sock away, Earl, before you get that marker mark permanently on your foot

I think Beaver Cleaver did that once on Leave it to Beaver.

I’d do that, only I can’t find white magic markers.

A band aid will eliminate that cold spot when you walk onto the kitchen floor.

Odd place for a hole in your sock, Earl, what were you doing?

When you put your foot in your shoe, Earl, no one will ever see the hole. When you go barefoot, though, everyone will see a black mark.

That’s being frugal to a fault.

This strip reminds me of an episode of Red Dwarf.
