Milhouse+Van+Houten

MILHOUSE VAN HOUTEN.

Milhouse is a ten-year-old boy with blue hair, and he is almost the only one in Springfield with eyebrows! He has very small eyes, but he use thick glasses, because he is extreme near-sighted. He has also a huge nose about the size of a softball. The clothes he wears is a violet t-shirt, red trousers and red shoes. He looks like a dumb boy, but also a little cute and funny one.

Milhouse Van Houten’s role in The Simpson is a minor one. But we can often see him in many episodes together with Bart. Milhouse is a student on Springfield Elementary, and Bart Simpson’s best friend. He acts like a nerd, but isn’t really clever. We actually know very much about him. His parents are Kirk Van Houten and Luann Van Houten. During the seasons they get divorced, and now Milhouse lives most of the time together with his mother. He has no brothers and sisters. He is allergic to many different things like honey, dairy products, wheat and even his own tears. His grandmother is Italian, and she doesn’t like when Milhouse speak English, so he has to speak Italian to her. His favourite activity is to stand on the bridge and squirt ketchup into convertibles. He has one secret; his psychiatrist has noted various homosexual tendencies.

Milhouse is a very gullible boy. He is often led into trouble by Bart, who is not shy about taking advantage of his naive and trusting friend. He often tries to get Milhouse into trouble or hurt him for no reason. I think we can say that Milhouse is a dynamic character. He changes his personality and attitude frequently, but it isn’t always to the better. His personality and attitude goes therefore like waves. Sometimes he suddenly understands something difficult or complicated, but after a short while he is the same kind of foolish boy. Milhouse has been in love many times, but he is usually clumsy around females. His first girlfriend was a girl called Samantha Stanky. Her father saw them kissing one time, and then he sent her to a French Canadian Catholic girls' school. And she hasn’t been heard from since.

Now Milhouse has his eyes for Bart’s younger sister Lisa, and he started to play sax in the marching band just because Lisa also plays there. His behaviour around females has still lost him Lisa’s heart three times. Lisa once supposed to fall in love with him, and they were going to begin a relationship. But Milhouse was replaced with a boy called Colin, who is Lisa’s boyfriend now.

Milhouse is named after the US president Richard Nixon, who has the middle name Milhouse. The name was the most “unfortunate name Matt Groening could think of for a kid.” And Milhouse is also a caricature of Paul from “The Wonder Years”.
