Martha's Iconic Goatee

Martha's Goatee The goatee Martha once sported in Martha Screams looks to have been shaved off for the PBS educational spin-off show Martha Speaks; remnants are still present upon close inspection of her chin. A Facial Hair Weekly article about Martha’s sudden change of appearance in Martha Speaks brought about controversy, fans of Martha Screams wondering why the charmingly menacing goatee was cast aside with no explanation. The article rumors an attack on Martha at a local grocery store, where a dull pair of scissors was used to obliterate her signature goatee. The Dogs Times also did a piece on Martha’s descent into insanity, suggesting that it is an unwell mental state that caused her to ditch the goatee and sign on to the educational project Martha Speaks, which forces vocabulary down the throats of its unsuspecting youth audience. TV Today disagrees, stating that Martha had to “tone down her presence” for the new show, since she is portrayed as a domestic pet rather than a great leader. Whatever the reason for its disappearance may be, everyone can agree that Martha’s iconic goatee will be missed.
