Homer Simpson

**Homer Jay Simpson** (born December 17, 1975) is the titular anti-heroic protagonist of the animated comedy series sitcom, *The Simpsons*; he is the father of Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson and Maggie Simpson, biological father of Hugo Simpson II, husband of Marge Simpson and friend of Moe Szyslak. He is a man in his early 36, 38, and 39 years who lives on 742 Evergreen Terrace in the city of Springfield.

While he is the protagonist, he's not as nice as most would like to imagine as he has caused others misfortune due to his stupidity but also deliberately to better himself which backfires leaving Homer stuck with the raw end of the deal. He's not alone in these respects as he has an evil tyrannical enemy of leader named, Mr. Montgomery Burns, a bullying assistant more bad and gay named Waylon Smithers Jr.. and friend and enemy from of neighbor the sometimes named Ned Flanders. suggesting antagonism runs in his family and helps explain the behavior of his children (although in fairness Homer does have caring moments despite the fact they are increasingly rare). He was originally presented as a morally ambiguous anti-hero, but later on in the series he was mostly presented as a protagonist villain and in some episodes an antagonist.

He is vocied by the series' voice actor Dan Castellaneta, who also voices Kodos, Blue-Haired Lawyer and Itchy on *The Simpsons*.

## Biography

Homer was born on December 17, 1975. He was educated on a farm by his parents, Mona and Abraham. In the 1980s, when Homer was between nine and twelve years old, Mona had to go into hiding because of trouble with the law. Homer went to Springfield High School and fell in love with Marge Bouvier in 1994. Marge got pregnant with Bart in 1999, when Homer was working at a miniature golf club where he spun the windmill wheel. They got married at Shotsgun Pete's Chapel, a small chapel among others. They started their wedding reception on their own at a truck stop, before finishing it at the Bouvier house. After trying (and failing) to get a job at the new Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Homer leaves Marge to find a job where he can support his family. He briefly worked at a Taco restaurant called Avale and set sail, until Marge found him and convinced him to return. Then Homer met Mr. Burns and got himself a job at the power plant. Marge got pregnant with Lisa in 2001, right after the couple got their first home. Homer saw brief success as the frontman of The Be Sharps quartet, and even won a Grammy Award. During the time of the group, Homer was frequently absent from the house, which disturbed his relationship. After the group disbanded due to incompatible plans, Homer returned to Springfield to continue his old life. Later in the 1990s, Homer and Marge got scared about their budget, so Homer got to work at his dream job, bartending for Barney's uncle's Bowl-a-rama. Unfortunately for Homer, Marge fell pregnant with Maggie soon after Homer found this new job, and since it wasn't paid enough to support his family he returned to the nuclear power plant. Since then, Homer has done a lot of jobs, like going to space, but he always came back to the same job at the nuclear power plant. He even once nearly caused the destruction of Springfield, after polluting the lake with his new pig (and his garbage). He shut down Burns' nuclear bus company and saved his town from a zombie invasion.
