I’m a female, too, but Lois, absolutely. She’s tons funnier, and she’s wickedly intelligent. Did you see the one with Candace Bergen where Lois gives Bergen’s uber-feminist a smackdown, both intellectually and physically? That’s hot.

I’d take Lois over Marge any day. Why? According to Homer, Marge’s hair has been grey as a mule since high school. I’m willing to bet the carpet doesn’t match the drapes.

Twent-some posts in, and it’s Lois by a landslide. Poor ol’ blue-haired Marge is just barely ahead of Betty Rubble, who wasn’t even running. ☹

Since we’re being superficial about a cartoon, Id like to add:  
Lois, cus she’s rich and doesn’t care about money.

Ok, let’s think about this Seriously for a minute. Below I have pictures of objects that the characters are know to have at all times, as the above poster mentioned.

First Lois and her equipment.

where as we all know Marge always carries this

No, it’s not made to make sense.
