Hans Molman

Matt Groining argues that the creation of Hans Molman was inspired by Drupi , who inherited the balance and imperturbability of the Mole. In the early series, Hans Molman was black. Initially, Hans appeared in a very small number of episodes, but later, with an increase in the popularity of the character, he began to appear in episodes more often. According to the episode of “ Principal Charming ”, his name was previously Ralph Melish , which is a reference to the sketch of the comic troupe Monty Python “The Adventures of Ralph Melish: Hot Dog and Breeches”. The accidents that happened to him, Hans Molman is very similar to Kenny McCormick - the character of the animated series “ South Park ”, who died in almost every episode during the first five seasons. Hans Molman died 8 times.

Hans Molman's height is 4 feet 4 inches, weight - 140 pounds, he is weak-sighted and he is very unlucky in life. He is about 31 years old. In addition, he calls this age at a meeting of anonymous alcoholics; it is by alcoholism that he explains his appearance of an old man. Because of his cataract, he is almost blind; for her treatment, Hans smokes marijuana . With him, he constantly carries a brown cane, on which he relies. In the episode " Boy-Scoutz N the Hood " it was shown that inside the cane he hides a huge sword that outweighs him.

Usually, Hans drives the 1977 Gremlins , green. Although in the episode " Marge Simpson in:" Screaming Yellow Honkers " , he drove a 1995 Ford . In the non-canonical episode of Treehouse of Horror IV , Bart tells Otto that you need to drop a gremlin : Otto , looking out of the window, sees a car of the mark Gremlin, driven by Molman, then Otto knocks the car out of the way. Molman's “gremlin” rushes to a tree, but stops a few meters in front of him. It saved Hans life - the car explodes in a few seconds (this scene is a hint of the insecurity of the Gremlin cars). When the episodes show the Springfield Automobile Department (the place where Patty and Selma work ) in the background you can often see how Hans gets or is denied a driver's license.

In episode 1 of season 18, he said that he slept with his grandmother Lars Ulrich .

According to season 22 episode 6, he conducts his morning talk show at Springfield Jazz Radio Station KJAZZ-FM. Each program begins with the words: “This is the morning with Molman. With a kind Molman you. " He can often be seen driving a wagon carrying various loads, for example, in the episode of the “ Homer's Triple Bypass ” he was carrying the house of Edgar Allan Poe . He also teaches at the Springfield Adult Education Center. Even Hans worked in the bird sanctuary caretaker. In other episodes, he worked as a postman, a janitor at the Springfield nuclear power plant (there was an accident with him: Mr. Burns , being under the influence of ether vapor, drilled Hans’s head with an electric drill). In the episode " The Last Temptation of Homer " he represented the Solar Power Station at the power station exhibition.

In the episode " Walking Big & Tall " it becomes known that Hans was the mayor of Springfield four times and stabilized the city budget eight times.

Hans escaped death in countless accidents. He survived the explosion of his car; after Montgomery Burns drilled his head with an electric drill; after being sentenced to death by electrocution. In addition, Hans was nearly buried several times alive.
