Are they brother and sister? Perhaps that is why Milhouse is such a wiener.



Ha, never thought about that one before did ya!

Sadly, my wife and I hear this a lot - people think we are brother and sister. It's fun letting people think this and then making out in front of them!

I was going to say the same thing but it seemed to uncreative to me.

When brothers/sisters have kids together it usually results in birth defects such as deformities. Homosexuality is not a birth defect.

That is like saying someone is bald and an alcoholic because his parents were related.

It's not that, philzilla just don't like "weak" people if you could say something like that about Milhouse.

Sniffer gone old-school sig

He does. In one episode the shrink made some remark about strong homosexual tendencies in Milhouse.

God only knows how a 10 year old could show those though

No, you're mistaken. He loves Liza which is why he's gay.

The "baldness" gene is in the human genome, actually.

It probably saves a lot on animation. They just have to stick different hair on them to set them apart. Makes it easy to reuse the same animations for two characters.

Well duh.

You could hardly call it a birth defect because of inbreeding though.

Oh and

That had better be a joke.

At any rate, they probably did it just so you can see where Milhouse got his geeky looks from, but since it is a cartoon you give to people blue hair and glasses they come off looking the same.

They couldn't use the same cels for two characters side-by-side in the same scene. besides, the registration holes would be wrong.

She'd look less like her (ex)husband without those eyebrows, which after all, are fake.

A character designer on a two for one offer ?

Why do Milhouse's parents both look the same?
Because of a lazy parent (The guy who drew them has got a weird artistic bent)

All cartoon characters are immaculated conceptions.
