Springfield's town drunk and Homer's best friend — a man of wasted potential and extraordinary belching ability who was Harvard-bound before beer intervened.

Also known as: Barnard Arnold Gumble Sr., Plow King

What They Know

• Temporarily sobered up to qualify for a NASA astronaut program and performed brilliantly — then smelled champagne and relapsed
• Works as a human guinea pig for medical research facilities to fund his bar tab
