This poor kid. Not only does he have to miss his little league game to attend a company picnic, but his comments seemingly get his dad fired.
Or do they?

Homer and Marge have different outfits for this grand picnic scene, which I thought was noteworthy. I'm not committing to drawing every slight alteration they make over the series, but this one struck me as interesting because I don't think the te...

This guy is a good way to ease us in to this episode chock-a-block full of absolute nobodies. Y'see, as you may remember, this episode is all about Homer being ashamed of t...

Wiggum is a character that enters the show more or less fully formed. His design has changed very little between his first appearance and now, to my eye.
The biggest difference I would say is how he is used. Early on his importance as the ch...

Poor Mr Winfield never gets a first name as far as I can tell, presumably because he is not as useful as an antagonist to the Simpson family as his wife. Also, who would want to see this somewhat grotesque design again?
