The Simpsons made everyone cry yesterday when they gave their heartfelt tribute to Marcia Wallace who played Bart’s teacher, Edna Krabappel. (“Her name is Krabappel?? I’ve been calling her Krandall! Ohhhh I’ve mad an ass of myself.” — Homer.) They paid tribute with Bart’s classic and regular chalkboard writing gag. Instead of something sarcastic or joke-y, Bart simply wrote “We’ll really miss you Mrs. K.” (above.) Great, I’m getting teary now. Look at his face. :(
It’s still unclear if this is the Simpsons character who was going to die or if it’s just a sad turn of events.
Did you watch?
It’s not unclear, the producers have said Mrs. Krabapple was NOT the planned character death but now they are going to retire her in honor of Marcia’s passing. http://entertainment.time.com/2013/10/29/the-simpsons-will-retire-edna-krabappel-after-voice-actors-death/
