She's the thing that made this all okay-the threadbare coats and the old boots and the guns that jams when you most need them to fire, the loneliness of knowing that you don't matter, that you will never matter, the fact that you're just another body, another uniform to be sent into the fold or the frost, another good boy who knows his place, who does his job, who doesn't ask questions, who will lie down and die and be forgotten. What is she? She's everything, you dumb son of a bitch.”

Mudflap Girl has at different times been considered a reflection of male self-image, symbolic of declining family values, and a feminist figure.

Is she more than just a two dimensional figure based on her appearance? What is her story? And most mysteriously, who is she?”

“I tapped a few keys, wrote, 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life,' and stared at the sentence. Who had initially said that? Honestly, it wasn’t all that inspirational.
