Source: 20th Century FoxBART SIMPSON wants to have it all and usually gets what he wants, which is often more than he bargained for. While many accuse Bart of being too dependent on his surrogate parent, the TV, he has many outside interests, such as eating ice cream in front of the weight loss center,perfecting the art of the loogie, and sitting on the roof with a baseball bat to ward off U.F.O.’s. Dismissed by many as an unrepentant mischief-maker, Bart wrestles mightily with his conscience every day. In fact, his greatest fear is that his good conscience will one day get the better of him.
Bart is a hands-on kind of person. He lives in the present, rarely considering the consequences of his insatiable curiosity. Often fueled by the syrupy goodness of a Kwik-E-Mart Squishee, Bart’s high-energy escapades keep the rest of his family in an uproar. Dealing with him can be a real struggle. Homer struggles to keep his temper, Lisa struggles for attention, and Marge struggles to pry Homer’s fingers from around Bart’s throat. On the other hand, Bart shares Homer’s delight in junk food, slovenly behavior, and practical jokes, admires and occasionally relies upon Lisa’s ingenuity and brains, and appreciates Marge’s cooking and her unwavering love.
Bart’s career at Springfield Elementary is equally tempestuous. Along with his best friend and spitbrother, Milhouse, egghead Martin Price, bully Nelson, and a host of other meager young minds, Bart makes life worth leaving for Mrs. Krabappel, his fourth grade teacher. He has run for class president on the platform of “More Asbestos,” replaced Mrs. Krabappel’s birth control pills with Tic Tacs, openly mocked Principal Skinner under his nom de graffiti, El Barto, and incited a student riot with his “Down With Homework” T-shirt. His feelings about school might have been best illustrated in one of his fondest dreams, in which Springfield Elementary isdevoured by giant mechanical ants.
