Description
Homer Simpson – the Homer Jay magnet who was television's most honest attempt to represent the average American man.
Homer Simpson is the patriarch of the Simpsons—the operator of the Springfield nuclear power plant who loved donuts, Duff beer, and the couch, and whom Matt Groening created as the most specific representation of the contradictions of the average American man: simultaneously loving and selfish, responsible and completely irresponsible, and constantly making the wrong choices for the most recognizable reasons. Homer was the most quoted television character of the 90s because everyone recognized someone in the family. This collectible Homer Simpson magnet, compatible with Lego, represents the patriarch of Springfield.
The donut. The Duff beer. And the "D'oh!" that became the most specific sound of self-recognition of frustration on American television.
The Heart of Homer: Universal Identification as the Foundation of Comedy
Homer works in The Simpsons because Groening created a character specific enough to be funny and recognizable enough to be universal — Homer's flaws were the most common flaws amplified for comedy, and the series used this amplification to make social commentary with the deniability of cartoons.
This Homer magnet is for fans of The Simpsons — and D'oh!
The legacy of Homer Simpson: the patriarch who defined The Simpsons.
Add this collectible Homer Simpson magnet to your collection. Compatible with Lego, high-quality ABS plastic, strong magnet in the base. For fans of The Simpsons — and Springfield.
