Marge Simpson, the wife of Homer Simpson, has appeared nude on the cover of November's Playboy to mark the 20th anniversary of the show. The famous blue-haired housewife became the first cartoon character to appear in the adult magazine. Inside, she features in a three-page spread including a centrefold pullout, and there is an interview entitled "The Devil in Marge Simpson."Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said that the sassy shots, which show Bart, Lisa and Maggie's mother in various states of undress, were taken by her husband Homer. The move came as the team behind the cartoon, America's longest-running American sitcom, celebrated the eve of its 20th birthday in California.
Al Jean, executive producer, joked: "I talked to Marge today. She's a little embarrassed. She wanted people to know the photo is Photoshopped. It's really the body of Wilma Flintstone."The soon to become iconic cover of Marge is actually a tribute to an older Playboy cover from 1971.
The images are pretty funny, including the classic centerfold stats. In one shot, Marge wears skimpy negligée and offers up a plate of doughnuts. What else could one say but, "ummmm, baby...."
