Back to the cornfield

My pal Steve sent me this over the weekend, yet another sighting of the Hee-Haw overalls in the Sears Catalog. Never has there been a more authentic bit of merchandise albeit a slightly bewildering one. 

For added bonus, the kid modelling them looks like the eerie combination of Roy Clarke and Buck Owens.

Gloom, Despair and Agony On Me

Yes, you are reading that correctly, it says "Overalls in a HEE HAW print" as in that show that was on opposite of Lawrence Welk. Was this show popular with the playground crew? Wearing these where I grew up would be the equivilant of being caught dressing up my cats.

Not available in "Junior Samples" size.
