Why must you be 18 or older? Damn my parents for not having me sooner

 

Prolly so there isn't a huge issue with licensing

 

Cobalt is pretty good

 

Pah! Not entering. This is another sign the Simpsons are running out of good and funny ideas for extra episodes. Fans shouldn't have to do the hard work of coming up with an original design for them, they can get stuffed.

All right, I'm here. I'm sure we can settle this in a nice and reasonable fash...*gets socked in the eye*

That's not me, that's Alex !!

 

:whistle:

Ahhh I want to be a character on The Simpson's:P

We should get both a character, so these 2 can talk about food, drinks and classical music all the time. :awesome:

does someone know/can someone tell me how the episode where coldplay appears is/will be called like??

I don't think anybody knows here, sorry :\

I really would love to do Ian or a random Coldplayer, but like you guys already said, he most likely will just be talking to Homer. :sad:.

apparently he/she/it bumps into Chris in the street!

Mann i wanna see the episode already! :bomb:

It should be paranormal creature, or a dude from the past :0

What if someone made it a dinosaur.. :awesome:

Except instead of bumping into Chris, he/she/dinosaur would probably squish him... :sick:

that would be awesome! :cheesy:

 

 

 

but they said they are looking for a human :disappointed:

if this character is going to run into Chris, it should be a Chrissy girl or guy :P

OMFG WHY MUST I BE 15?!

apparently he/she/it bumps into Chris in the street!

Mmm... now I'm kind of regretting being 16. There's probably no way I could get one of you guys to submit a design for me either.

^Couldn't you use the identity of a member of your family/ a friend who's older than 18 ?

 

Can't wait to see that episode !!! :dance:

What a f***ing competition. Today I've drawn a figure and then I found out - I can't enter because I'm from Germany :( And you can't upload a character, but only submit a form with details about this. What a waste of time on my part...

I'm sorry for you Nicole... I'm sure it was great ! You could post it here, I'd be happy to see it :nice:

So you have to live in the US to enter the competition ? That's f*cking stupid...

Yes, you have to live in the US :(

But okay, my drawing wasn't not really good, so I had no chance anyway :D

 

 

 

aww, i think it's awesome, nickyyy! :D

Awesome !! Haha a mermaid fangirl :lol:

Yes, you have to live in the US :(

But okay, my drawing wasn't not really good, so I had no chance anyway :D

 

 

 

:lol:

That's very nice.

I love your handwriting! :p

Thanks :)

And it's a mermaid, because "Nixe" is my nickname ;)

Ladies' man Ricardo Bomba to start alongside Chris Martin in The Simpsons

 

In this publicity image released by Fox, Grand-Prize Winner of "The Simpsons Character Contest," Peggy Black, of Orange, Conn., and "The Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean,pose for a photo on Monday, Nov. 16, 2009, in Los Angeles. The long-running animated Fox series held a contest to give fans the chance to dream up a new character, and Bomba was the winning entry. He's the creation of Peggy Black of Orange, Conn. More than 25,000 entries were received in the contest for the show, which is marking its 20th year on TV.

 

LOS ANGELES — Ladies' man Ricardo Bomba is bringing his charms to "The Simpsons," and it's all the doing of a hospital operations manager with a vivid imagination. Peggy Black, 52, of Orange, Conn., won a contest to create a character for Fox's long-running animated series, with her entry triumphing among the more than 25,000 received, the network said Thursday.

 

"Rrrri-carrr-do Bomba," Black said, extravagantly rolling the "R's" in Spanish-language fashion. "He's someone that all the women love and all the men want to be."

 

Bomba will be introduced in the Jan. 31 episode featuring guest star <b>Chris Martin</b> of Coldplay. The episode had been mostly completed, with a spot reserved for the contest character. In "Million Dollar Maybe," Homer Simpson is rushing to meet Marge for a date when he encounters Bomba in the episode that centers on a winning lottery ticket.

 

It's possible Bomba could appear again, said executive producer Al Jean, who helped judge the contest. He described the contest, part of the show's celebration of its 20th year, as a thank you to loyal fans. Black, who counts herself among them, was encouraged to enter by Dwight Vann, 42, a colleague at the Hospital of Saint Raphael in New Haven, Conn., where she is operations manager for the cancer center and a radiation therapist. Her favorite character is Bart Simpson, she said, "because he's such a bad boy. He's so misunderstood."

 

In pondering her contest entry, Black decided there was a void on "The Simpsons" and that Springfield needed "something like a Casanova," she said. Bomba, a handsome, smooth-talking South American nicknamed "La Bomba," works at the town's nuclear power plant by day and "by night, works Springfield's singles scene," as Fox describes him.

 

So is Bomba the man of her dreams? "I'm married to the man of my dreams," Black replied. She'd bounced ideas for her creation off co-worker Vann, and then rewarded him when she won the grand prize of a trip to Los Angeles to work with the show's producers: She invited Vann to join her. A highlight of the visit was watching Bomba brought to life by animators. "I described the character and they drew him so I could see if that was my vision of him," she said. "It's amazing to see how they captured what I imagined. He's over the top."

 

Black, who's still marveling at her sudden brush with Hollywood success, brushes away a question about the lack of a cash prize. "I'm going to be immortalized forever by making a `Simpsons' character," she said.
