Biography
Alice Glick lived in the Simpsons's neighborhood. Bart met her when he was trying to earn money to buy a collector's item comic book. Mrs. Glick put Bart to work doing chores around her house, but because she paid him very poorly, he quickly grew to loathe her. During one of Bart's work sessions with Mrs. Glick, she showed him "an old lady thing" where she dyed her wedding dress black for her husband's funeral.[1]
Doctor Hibbert confessed to once leaving his car keys inside her while operating.[2] She also tried to sell a candy dish for ninety dollars that she forcefully insisted could only be used for storing candy.[3] Mrs. Glick was shown at the Springfield Swap-and-Meet, selling many valuable items such as an original copy of the Declaration of Independence, the first Superman comic, Inverted Jenny postal stamps and a Stradivarius violin, all for five cents.[4] Mrs. Glick once took the heart donor ticket off her I.D., along with many other people around her.[5] Mrs. Glick is walking along a downtown street with her groceries when she trips and falls upside down into a trash can.[6]
Personality
Alice was possibly suffering from dementia; consequently, her grasp on reality can be questioned at times. She also appears to not be aware of the times, having payed Bart 25 cents (a shadow of its former value) and living a solely archaic lifestyle to accompany it.
When residents of Springfield were at the Kwik-E-Mart stocking up food for a hurricane, she grabbed Lisa's head, thinking she was a pineapple, and carried her on her shopping cart along with Ralph (whom she thought was a pumpkin). Ralph then revealed that Mrs. planned on cooking them into a pie.[7]
