LOL, since fucking when did a woman who could tend farm ever wear dresses like the one on the left (more than, like, once in her life on her wedding day or something)?

Help manage her husband's antebellum plantation, maybe, but fieldwork? Hell, no.

    The cartoonist probably looked at some old family photos, saw his grandmother dressed up for a formal portrait, and thought it was everyday clothing. Early photographers used to keep nice clothes on hand for customers to pose in, so the clothes may not even have been hers.
