If bending the law will suit Quimby's purposes, he will likely do so. Aside from bribery, Barlow when describing him also inferred that he was also a tax cheat. ![]() His constantly accepting and securing bribes from unsavory people while in office was notorious enough that when he declared while shutting down Fat Tony's rat-milking operation that "the Mayor's office is not for sale", the reporters proceeded to laugh at him, apparently the irony of his statement not being lost on them, causing him to request and fail to have the laughter edited out. Mayor Quimby with Homer Simpson in " Mayored to the Mob"Īmong other corrupt behaviors he displayed while in office was his frequently accepting bribes from the mafia and other groups. However, he makes frequent, albeit short, public appearances for local festivities, events, business openings, etc. He once referred to Springfield as Sprungfeld at a public meeting. He frequently takes overseas vacations, which take him out of town for extended periods of time, leading to the headline "Mayor Visits City" in the Springfield Shopper. The comet is currently in the possession of Bart Simpson, and is willing to show it to anyone who will pay him five dollars and do a perfect impression of Huckleberry Hound.Despite being mayor for such a long time (having at least six terms under his belt according to Birch Barlow), Quimby does not know or care much about his city, often privately (or even publicly) showing his outright contempt for Springfield's citizens. Bart and Lisa are scared that Homer was right about the comet. The comet encounters a thick layer of pollution as it enters the atmosphere and burns up as a result, which hits a defaced weather balloon, which then pops and deflates away before ultimately hitting Ned's nuclear bunker, which falls over from the now tiny rock, and bounces to the top of the hill where Bart catches it and juggles it around for a bit due to it being hot before putting it in his pocket. However, racked with guilt, the other townspeople come out and form a ring at the top of a hill and wait for the comet to strike. However, there was not enough room and Ned was kicked out to suffer from the comet alone. People then found out Ned Flanders had a bomb shelter, so they headed towards it to hide from the comet. ![]() The rocket skipped the comet and instead destroyed the only bridge out of town. Mayor Quimby came to the city for a conference about the comet, where Professor Frink told everyone they were going to launch a rocket to destroy it. ![]() Homer said to Bart that the comet would burn up in the atmosphere and be harmless. They went to the Springfield Observatory and alerted them where they saw it through a bigger, more powerful telescope and found out it was in fact heading towards Springfield. The Superfriends also end up going to the Springfield Observatory to let them know of this development. ![]() Database is unbelieving at first, as comets cannot be seen during the daytime, but Bart directed them to a window nearby, showing that there was indeed a comet being shown in daytime, although Bart does not understand the significance or horror of this discovery. When one of the members, Database, requests that he see the comet, Bart nonchalantly directs them to it. Bart discovered it after looking through Principal Skinner's telescope after going star gazing as a punishment.Īfter the discovery of the comet and his contacting the Springfield Observatory, Bart was also recruited among the Superfriends where he was given the nickname "Cosmos" due to his discovery. The comet was a rock from space that was heading towards Springfield.
