You won’t see him in The Simpsons again: this character who has been around since the first episode has finally disappeared from the series!

Please note, the following goes back to a crucial detail from season 35 of The Simpsons, which will air soon on Disney+. If you don’t want to know anything about its content, I suggest you stop reading this article now!

Episodes of The Simpsons have a habit of not following each other, and it is generally said that the show reboots every episode. However, there is indeed a common thread that connects the 35 seasons, and some important events remain in the main plot of the cartoon.

The death of Maude Flanders left fans traumatized

Over the seasons, several iconic characters of the series lost their lives. This was especially true of Maud Flanders, the wife of the creepy Simpsons neighbor, whose death caused a real shock among the program’s fans.

Mona Simpson, Homer’s mother, the saxophonist Murphy “Bloody Gums” or even the mobster Fat Tony are the most emblematic characters who also left us for 35 seasons.

A moving and unexpected episode

A name was recently added to this list, and if at first glance it does not seem like a character of great importance, although the latter appeared in the first episode of the show. Moe’s Tavern regular barman Larry Dalrymple — originally nicknamed Larry Barfly — did indeed die in the current season of The Simpsons.

This sudden disappearance led to a touching episode when other regulars of the tavern were seen attending his funeral. During the ceremony, Homer, Lennie, Carl, and Moe realize that they know nothing about Larry, despite many meetings. The latter were then forced to invent false memories in order to honor the one who still considered them. “His Best Friends”.

The first 34 seasons of The Simpsons are now available on Disney+; Season 35, which is currently airing in the United States, will air in France at an as-yet-unknown date.
