After having found out that he weighs 260 pounds, Homer vows he will diet and get more exercise. While Homer is looking for his weights in the attic, Bart stumbles upon several old paintings of Ringo Starr that Marge had made as a high school student. Marge reveals she was scolded by her art teacher for painting Starr, whom she had a crush on. She sent a painting to him for his "honest opinion", but she never got a response from the Beatles' drummer. After Lisa suggests that Marge take a painting class at Springfield Community College, she paints Homer asleep on the couch in his underwear, earning praise from her teacher, Professor Lombardo. The painting wins the college art show, earning Marge fame and newspaper headlines.
