MARGE SIMPSON
Marge is the putty that just barely holds the Simpson family together week
after
week. By sensibly drawing the line at such frivolous expenses as an electric
garage door opener and changes of clothing for her children, Marge manages
to
stretch Homer's modest salary to cover the tremendous costs incurred by
a family
of the '90's: Homer's beer and donut supply, and such necessary expenses
as his
recent day trip to India to meet the owner of the Kwik-E-Mart Corporation.
However, Marge doesn't just bake cookies and stand by her man. She has
been
on both sides of the "thin blue line." Not only has she served on Springfield's
police department for a short while, but with her freewheeling neighbor
Ruth
Powers, she has gone on a high-speed consciousness-raising adventure, even
outwitting and outrunning Police Chief Wiggum himself. She has also starred
in
"Oh, Streetcar!," a musical adaptation of "A Streetcar Named Desire," worked
at
the local nuclear power plant alongside her husband. Before leaving that
job,
Marge bravely accused plant owner Montgomery Burns of sexual harassment.
Unfortunately, Marge's attorney, Lionel Hutz, threw in the towel when he
saw
that Mr. Burns' lawyers owned suits with matching jackets and pants.
Marge's one extravagance is having her tall blue hair done twice a day.
Her hair
does come in handy, however, as it enables the Simpsons to locate one another
easily when they visit an amusement park or zoo.
