I remember snapping them on. Being a slow learner who didn’t learn to tie his shoes till 10, I found no one with the patience to teach me bow-tie. A decade later, I had a fellow Engineer co-worker who wore them his whole career.
She’s lucky that Earl’s a) Going to church with her and b) Taking the trouble to get dressed up with a tie.
I hate ties of any kind and haven’t worn that useless piece of obsolete men’s fashion for years. I have collarless dress shirts that require no neckwear – in fact, I wore one this morning, accompanying my wife to church.

In my parents’ congregation (I attend my own), there is a guy who — as a hobby — makes strap-on wooden bow ties; Dad and I each have one.

Must be entertaining to watch the bow tie jump up and down when he talks!

There’s NO pleasing Opal! Wear the tie, Earl, and sit on the other side of the church….

Remind Opal that she’s the one who’s always talking, not him, so his bow tie won’t be a problem.

I thought Earl would be able to get out of going to church with the bow tie.

Looks like Brian is repeating the dialog from 2 dailies, 16 years ago (which I also happened to read today, I don’t have that good a memory anymore):
