Indeed it is, and the answer is Ned Flanders! It wasn’t directly addressed on the show, as I recall, but in the “dating” video Homer made for Ned after Maude’s death, there was a shot of Ned in the shower. Though a “mosaic” effect was used to conceal Ned’s unit, you can tell that it is HUGE. No wonder Maude always seemed so chipper…

Also, another of the characters (which stuck with me because I really loved the name) was Uncle Ant.

So I’ll submit this one alongside **Bricker** ’s question: Who created Itchy?

Fat Tony uses the loaf of bread reasoning for the bootleg cigs.

(Itchy was created by somebody who likes his blintzes!)

When did Poochy appear again after he was supposed to never re-appear?

</div>

Itchy’s creator was named Chester J. Lampwick.

I’m not sure whether it counts as a reappearence, but Poochy merchandise was seen in The Android’s Dungeon in the episode where Bart and Milhouse took it over.

I think those count as answers, so…

Who starred in the remake of “Man Getting Hit by Football”?

Actually, I think he had Willy (no pun intended) in mind. During the mock “Scotchtoberfest” festival, Bart rigged Willy’s kilt with balloons, lifting it. The crowd gasped and one young woman fainted.

Willy: Ach! 'Tis naught but what God gave me!

Chester J. Lampwick. He doesn’t necessarly have a strong fondness for blintzes, but he did accept them as payment for painting Krusty’s fence (though he never did).

Poochy was run over during a Hallowe-en episode when Bart and Lisa were pulled into an Itchy & Scratchy cartoon.

George C. Scott was the star of the remake of “Man Getting Hit by Football.”

Q: What happened to the inventor of New Coke?

In the episode where one of them gives a ride “home” to Hans Moleman, I believe it was a [Volkswagen Thing](http://www.cc.utah.edu/~ssm7601/thing.html).

Would it be wrong to steal a loaf of bread for your hungry family? And if so, what if your family didn’t like bread, but liked cigarettes. And instead of giving it to them, you supplied it to them at a tidy profit.

Along the same track, what is Fat Tony’s real name?

He became a homeless bum sharing a campfire with Homer’s half-brother (the one who was a millionaire auto manufacturer until Homer bankrupted him).

I think that’s his _second_ trip to the Big Apple. We only hear about his _first_ trip when, in the same episode, he tells the story…

“Which two popular character have died in the last year? If you answered Dr. Marvin Monroe and Bleeding Gums Murphy, you’re wrong. They were never popular!”

Speaking of which, here’s my question…

We actually saw the instance where Murphy died, but have only seen passing references to the Monroe death. Based on the first time we heard about it, Dr. Marvin Monroe probably died prior to what incident which swept all of Springfield?

Fat Tony’s real first name is Marion (you just don’t get it, do ya?)

Okay, here’s an old one: What kind of canned food is in the Simpson’s (not Flanders’) bomb shelter?
