0062 - Martin Prince Sr
🕑 Added 2022-01-27 09:00:03 +0000 UTCSomeone within the Simpsons organisation is paying attention to these things. Martin's father appears in one shot at the opera, annoyed at the noisy Simpson family up in a box (sidenote: The Simpsons can afford a box at the opera?), and he appears rarely after. But he appears to be relatively consistent nonetheless!
Season 1 - "Bart the Genius"
Season 4 - "Kamp Krusty"
Season 7 - "Bart on the Road"
This character only exists in orbit of Martin, so it is surprising that he would be consistent throughout the show, but I really appreciate this needless attention to detail. No one would blame them if they got this wrong between appearances and suddenly Martin's father appeared completely different. Well, most people wouldn't blame them. I guess I'd probably be chastising them mercilessly by now if I'd discovered he had changed dramatically.
Martin Prince Sr appears to be a stockbroker, which probably means he's not a great person.

Yeah, someone else mentioned this to me! I’m not sure what’s weirder: that’s he’s not in it or that she is (she probably had less lines than him, overall.) I didn’t get far enough into Tapped out for the really deep cuts.

"Fun" fact: he's not in Tapped Out, yet his wife is. At this point, aside from retired characters, he's probably one of the most recurring characters not to make it into that game.
