## Physical description

### Eye color

Black

**Homer Jay Simpson** (born May 12) is the main protagonist of the *The Simpsons*. He is the husband of Marge Simpson and father of Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson. Homer is overweight (said to be 240 pounds elsewhere), lazy, and often ignorant to the world around him. Although he has many flaws, he has shown to have great caring, love and even bravery to those he cares about and sometimes, even others he doesn't.

His favorite color is blue, and he enjoys dancing, eating donuts, drinking, hugging, driving a sit-down arcade racer, playing the piano and horse riding. His favorite kiddie rides are "Stuart Little", "Barney Train" and "Ride the Champion Mechanical Horse".

Homer works as a low-level safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in Sector 7G, although he is often incompetent and negligent towards his duties. He spends a great deal of his time at Moe's Tavern with his friends Barney Gumble, Carl Carlson, Lenny Leonard, and Moe Szyslak. At home, he can often be found sitting on the couch mindlessly watching TV while snacking on food and drinking Duff. Homer is also the only son of current Abe Simpson II and the late Mona Simpson, though he has two illegitimate half-siblings on Abraham's side. When provoked, he often strangles Bart for pressuring him. Even though he mutually hates his wife's sisters Patty Bouvier and Selma Bouvier, he played Selma's husband for her to adopt Ling and agreed to be the minister for Patty's intended homosexual marriage. As a result of this, Homer is her legal adoptive father.

Homer may just be a normal man, but he has had many great achievements and experiences in his life. He has won a Grammy, an Academy Award, a Pulitzer Prize, been to space and saved Springfield many times.

## Biography

Homer has a floating timeline, making his birth and childhood difficult to place. Homer once had a driver's license issued in 1992 which gave his date of birth as May 12, 1956. Similarly, he said he was 24 years old in 1980. In the 1990s, Homer daydreamed about watching President John F. Kennedy on television and scaring cows as a child in 1963. In the 2000s, Homer mentioned being ten years old in "the '60s or '50s, or maybe it was the early '70s". He was in high school anywhere from 1974 to 1999. He was also depicted as a young adult in the mid to late 1990s. His mother was said to have disappeared the year of an early Super Bowl in the 1960s which Joe Namath was in, or circa the 1980s to 1990s, about 30 years before the Patriots traded Brady.

Homer Jay Simpson was born to Abraham and the late Mona Simpson. He was raised on the Simpson family farm until they were forced to move out due to Homer jumping out of a hay bale and scaring the cows into giving sour milk, causing the bank to foreclose it. At some point in his childhood, Homer began drinking alcohol like his father and accidentally caused a traffic jam in a Playskool car. According to a family tree designed by the creator of the show, Matt Groening, Mr. Charles Montgomery Burns, his boss, is a distant relative of him. A family tree showing Homer's known family members and ancestry can be seen here.

When Homer was about six or nine years old, his mother went into hiding following a run-in with the law. Homer mentioned Abe told him she died while Homer was at the movies although in another episode's flashback Abe told Homer she was dead when she had already been missing for a while. Before her disappearance, Mona took Homer and Abe to Woodstock. Homer ended up briefly adopting the hippie lifestyle, much to Abe's disapproval. Homer discovered she was alive either seven or 27 years later.

When Homer was ten, his father forced him to attend Camp See-A-Tree, where he went on a date with Marge Bouvier from Camp Land-A-Man; unfortunately, he lied about his name and sustained an injury while Marge changed her appearance. Homer then accidentally stumbled into Camp Flab-Away and escaped too late to meet with her again, something that left him as heartbroken as Marge.

When Homer was 12, he, Lenny, Carl, and Moe went to a deep gorge to swim but the water was drained. When investigating why the lake was reduced to a muddy pit, he stumbled upon a decomposing corpse inside a nearby pipe, greatly traumatizing him.

When he was 15, Homer participated in a drinking contest by lying that he was 22. However, he became so intoxicated he ended up drinking a whole beer keg used to fill the other contestants cups. Eventually he was so hungover he missed almost an entire month of school.

Before beginning high school, Homer convinced Barney to have a beer can while his father was asleep. Barney, an aspiring student preparing for Harvard, was annoyed and reluctantly drank it. However, he took to alcohol so quickly he nigh-permanently became a worse drunken wreck than Homer and presumably failed his SAT tests.

Homer attended Springfield High School, falling in love with an older and unrecognizable Marge after she ultimately rejected Artie Ziff. He failed remedial science and thus did not graduate from high school. Marge and Homer bought an apartment at Springfield Place together. During this time, Marge got a letter accepting her into a college. To pay for her tuition, Abe gave his son a job at Simpson Laser Tag. The couple broke up for some time after Homer started a grunge band called Sadgasm. Marge later realized that she really loved Homer and went back to him. According to other episodes, however, Marge did not pursue a career or go to college because she stayed with Homer, or because her parents filed for bankruptcy after being sued for Lenny falling off the roof of Marge's house at a party Sasha Reed held.

At some point between finishing high school and marrying Marge, Homer briefly served in the U.S. Army but never saw combat. Due to a clerical error, he was discharged early, and years later, after a disastrous dinner party with his old sergeant, Homer was forced to complete his tour of duty.

In his 20s, Homer was working at Sir Putt-A-Lot's Merrie Olde Fun Centre, turning the crank that spun the windmill. He was still dating Marge, although Homer lived in an apartment with Barney, and Marge was now living with her mother and sisters. After a night out with Marge, he learned that he'd prematurely impregnated her with their first child, who they decided to name "Bart" if it was a boy. He got married with Marge at Shotgun Pete's, a small wedding chapel across the state line. They spent their wedding reception alone at a truck stop before ending up at the Marge's family's house.

After failing to get a job at the power plant, Homer eventually left Marge to support his family. He went to work at the restaurant Gulp 'n' Blow until Marge convinced him to return home with her. As a result, Homer confronted Charles Montgomery Burns and secured a job at the plant. Homer and Marge later moved into a tiny apartment together on the Lower East Side of Springfield. When Marge became pregnant with Lisa, Homer and Marge moved into their first house. Homer's second leap to stardom was his success as the lead singer and songwriter for the barbershop quartet The Be Sharps, even winning a Grammy. During his time with the group, Homer was frequently absent which put stress on his marriage. After the group broke up due to creative differences, Homer went back to Springfield.

When in his 30s, Homer prepared a budget so that he could work at his dream job, a pin monkey at the Bowlarama Bowling Alley, owned by Barney's uncle Al Gumble. The budget included buying regular toilet paper and that only one of the kids could go to college. Unfortunately for Homer, Marge became pregnant once more with Maggie around this time, and he reluctantly went back to the nuclear plant in order to support his family. Since then, Homer has started many jobs, but in the end, he always comes back to his job at the Nuclear Plant.

### Childhood Summary

Homer's childhood was a tragic one. His mother had to exile at a young age and his father never took notice to Homer. This caused Homer to be very insecure about himself and underachieving things, thinking he lacked the skills to do so, which left him behind in almost everything and likely caused him to be what he is today.

### Jobs

*Main article: List of Homer's jobs*
“*(To his safety rally) Friends, you have come to depend on me as your safety watchdog so you won't scrape yourself or stub your toes or blow yourselves up. But you can't depend on me all your life. You have to learn that there's a little Homer Simpson in all of us, and I'm going to have to live without your respect and awe. The only reason I'm telling you this is I'm going to be leaving you, but don't worry. I have just been appointed the new safety inspector at this very plant with a big, fat raise!*”
―Homer Simpson[src]
In the episode "Homer Scissorhands", he worked as a hairdresser, but then he got tired of it and returned to his old job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.

In the episode "Homer's Odyssey", he worked at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant as a technical supervisor. He was fired by Barry Mackleberry (right in front of Bart Simpson), who was his supervisor, for creating a deadly gas leak. He was later rehired to safety inspector for Sector 7G, after complaining about the safety of the plant itself. Ironically, the accidents that occur at the plant have doubled every year since Homer was made safety inspector.

Homer rarely attends his job, and yet seldom gets fired (and when he does get fired, he always ends up rehired somehow) and always has his job waiting when he plans to get rehired and has impulsively quit occasionally to pursue other careers, although he always ends up losing or quitting these jobs. On one occasion, Homer has misinterpreted a threat about losing his job as a hint that he can take the following day off.

Homer also applied for a job as Santa, to make up for his missed Christmas bonus at the power plant.

## Appearance

Homer's appearance is that of an overweight balding man. Despite his overweight status, and hate for exercise, he has on occasion shown surprising physical prowess and agility for a man of his body type, such as when training for Whacking Day and he hits several pop-up Snakes with kicks and even back-flipping. His baldness is contributed by several factors, such as upon finding out whenever Marge was pregnant, he would tear out a substantial amount of his hair. Another contribution is working at the nuclear plant for so many years that the exposure to radioactivity has caused most of his hair to fall out. Another frequent topic on Homer's obesity is his large posterior which is often joked about by Bart. His eyes are blue, and he is 6 feet tall (183 cm). While his weight is debatable, the most common weight given is 239 pounds (though many jokes about his weight would suggest he is much heavier). He wears a white polo shirt, blue jeans, white underpants, and gray loafers.
