The Simpsons has killed off a surprising character with the newest episode of Season 35, and with it also reminded fans of a character they might have forgotten about in the background! The Simpsons is no stranger to death both as a result of the real actors passing away (and thus having their characters retired from the series), but also as a result of shaking things up for the sake of a story. The Simpsons has done the latter with the newest episode of the long running animated series by removing a character that has an impact on Homer and his buddies, but not too big on the series at large.
