Bart Simpson Bart Simpson
is misunderstood. Wrongly pegged as an underachiever and troublemaker, Bart would
like to remind the world of some of his decent qualities: He looks out for his
sister, Lisa; he's befriended outcasts and misfits like Milhouse Van Houten and
Ralph Wiggum; he's injected romance into the life of his teacher, Edna Krabappel;
and he brought down an illegal French winery during his brief semester abroad.
So what if he's also befouled the Springfield Community Church with phony hymns
or prank-called Moe's Tavern several times a day for the last few years? It all
balances out, right? At age 10, Bart has managed to live out a number of dreams:
He has starred in his own short-lived TV series (with his idol, Krusty the Clown),
spotted and named a deadly comet that nearly destroyed his town, and almost snagged
the role of Fallout Boy in the Radioactive Man movie. He couldn't have done any
of those things without the help and support of his best friend, Santa's Little
Helper.
