                                               BART SIMPSON
                        Bart is the most misunderstood Simpson. He is constantly frustrated by the
                        narrow-minded people of Springfield who judge him merely by his thoughts and
                        actions. At heart, he's just a good kid with a few bad ideas and one or two that
                        are still being reviewed by the Springfield district attorney. Basically, Bart is no
                        different from any ordinary fourth grader. He enjoys skateboarding, bubble gum,
                        caring for his pet elephant, appearing on the "Conan O'Brien Show" and
                        singlehandedly bringing a homicidal TV sidekick to justice, twice.

                        Bart rides an academic roller coaster, his grades running the loop-the-loop from
                        F to D-, and back again. But he can be ingenious when the chips are down -- as
                        long as his ingenuity is never applied to anything school-related. He even learned
                        portions of the Talmud to help reunite his idol, Krusty the Clown, with Krusty's
                        father, Rabbi Krustofsky.

                        Perhaps more than anything else, Bart's first words as a baby provide a window
                        onto his character: "Aye, Carumba!" -- as true today as they were when first
                        uttered.
