A rare character who, as far as I can tell, doesn't have any other appearance! And of course he doesn't, look at him, he's a wee FREAK.

Writing characters like these over 30 years is an interesting experiment. As I've indicated in other work, people tend to evolve over time, but these characters are frozen in one place for eternity...

For years, I thought of Selma and her twin sister (I'll reveal her name on Thursday) as one unit. I think this is by design, they operate as a joined obstacle for Homer, the typical in-laws to get ...
