Invinting the family to dance...

The five family members were given simple designs so that their facial emotions could easily be changed with almost no effort and so that they would be recognizable in silhouette.

Homer , is the father of the Simpson family. He embodies several American working class stereotypes: he is crude, overweight, incompetent, clumsy, thoughtless and a borderline alcoholic.He sometimes is frustated at being fat and bold.

Homer works as a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, a position at odds with his careless, buffoonish personality. His chief always complain of his poor job performance.

He has occasionally displayed flashes of great intellect and fitness whenever the situation calls for it, and an integrity reflecting his own values, including a fierce devotion to and protectiveness of his family.

His wife complains to the marriage counselor that Homer forgets birthdays, anniverseries, holidays,chews with his mouth open, straches himself with his keys,blows his nose in towels,and puts them back.Homer loves his family,and he will do anything to prove it-even if that means making himself look foolish.

He loves to read, and when he isn’t read he drinks beer.An other interesting fact is Homer picture has hung in the restaurant with description NATURE CRUELEST MISTAKE.

His dream is –Maybe for once someone will call me SIR without adding.

Two things always remains constant to him his happy –go-lucky nature and his love for Marge and his kids. Interesting Homer has since become one of the most influential fictional characters and has been described by the UK newspaper The Sunday Times as the greatest comedic creation of modern time. He has inspired an entire line of merchandise and his catchphrase, the annoyed grunt "D'oh!", has been included in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Her most notable physical feature is her bluehair styled into an improbably high beehive, howewer as it, enables the Simpsons to locate one another easily when they visit an amusement park, or the zoo.

Marjorie "Marge" Simpson (née Bouvier), is the well-meaning and extremely patient wife of Homer and mother of Bart, Lisa and Maggie. She often acts as the voice of reason, but displays exaggerated behavior traits of stereotypical mothers and takes the blatant dysfunctionality of her family for granted,unlike the other family members, who are aware that they are eccentric.

Marge is a stereotypical American housewife and mother, who hardly holds the Simpson family together week after week.Marge manages to strech Homer’s modest salary to cover the tremendes costs.Marge doesn’t just bake cookies and stand by her husband, but she has been in the booth sides of the thin blue line.She served in Springfield Police Dep. then she worked at the local nuclear power plant with her husband.

Bart is rebellious and frequently escapes without punishment, which lead some parents' groups and conservative spokespeople to believe he provided a poor role model for children.

Hed is constantly by the narrow-minded people of Springfield,who judge him by his action and thoughts.

Bart is not different from any ordinary fourth grades.He is enjoys skateboarding,bubble gum.Labeled an underachiever by authority figures,Bart rides an academic roller-coastes his grades running the loop-the-loop from F to D and back again.
