Also known as "Spanky" and "Skinny
Boy," Principal Skinner rules the hallowed halls of Springfield Elementary with an
iron fist, if only in his mind. In reality, he is the frequent butt of jokes in the
teachers' lounge, a constant target for Bart Simpson's schoolyard pranks.
When not conducting fire drills, augmenting the school lunches
with shredded newspaper, polishing the statue of the school mascot, or calculating
detention time for Bart, Skinner can be found at his desk, reliving, through vivid
flashbacks, the more horrific moments of his experience as a Green Beret in 'Nam.
Though he still lives at home with overly-protective mother, and
purportedly wears a toupee, Seymour has managed to eke out a meager romantic life. On one
occasion he became enmeshed in a scandalous affair with Edna Krabappel, while on another
he proposed to Patty Bouvier. When Patty, turned him down, the broken-hearted Skinner
remained steadfastly optimistic, declaring, "Tomorrow is another school day!" |
