Ned Flanders


Ned Flanders is Homer's next door neighbor. He is the epitome or trying to be of a Christian, he is also rather "square" or lame. Homer hate Ned with a passion, though in a few episode's Homer befriends Flanders but by the end of the episode everything is back to "normal." I found a great article about Ned here is an excerpt, " Ned Flanders, the endlessly optimistic neighbor of Homer Simpson, has emerged as an unlikely icon for churchgoers, who say they are embracing their inner nerds." Read the whole article here. Though I don't agree with some points the article makes it does paint a wonderful picture of Ned Flanders. Here is a another bio about Ned. Also, this is a flash-site that has some fun sound-bites from Ned (if you have never heard Ned talk I highly suggest you go listen).
