Page "Comic Book Guy" Paragraph 1

Comic Book Guy ( claiming Jeffery Albertson to be his real name in the episode " Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass ".

) is an obese, nerdy and snobby man best known for his eloquence and sarcastic quips.

He is obsessed with collecting comic books and is an avid science fiction buff.

He holds a master's degree in folklore and mythology ( he translated The Lord of the Rings into Klingon as part of his thesis ), has an IQ of 170, and is a member of the Springfield branch of Mensa.

He has long hair, which he always keeps tied in a ponytail.

His catchphrase is the declaration " worst / best ever ", sometimes to the point of breaking the fourth wall.

For example, in the episode " Saddlesore Galactica ", he wears a T-shirt saying " Worst Episode Ever " and criticizes the idea of the Simpson family keeping a horse since that was the subject of a previous episode.

Another example of breaking the fourth wall occurs in an episode when Comic Book Guy's chair collapses, and he sarcastically says " Ooh, a fat man falls.

Real original.

" Despite his solitary life, in The Simpsons Movie, minutes before his likely death, Comic Book Guy says that his obsessive comic book collecting has been a " life well spent ".

However, in " Treehouse of Horror VIII ", when a nuclear missile homes in on him, he says to himself " Ohh, I've wasted my life.

" ( Although the " Treehouse of Horror " episodes are not part of the normal Simpsons canon ).

In the 19th season finale, " All About Lisa ", it is revealed that he has long, beautiful, overflowing hair.

Comic Book Guy not only has a heart attack in Season 12, but encounters death three times ; once in a French missile strike on Springfield, in the Simpsons Comics mini series " Comic Book Guy: The Comic Book ", where he is killed in the explosion of Superguy's rocket, and also in " Treehouse of Horror XVI ", where Comic Book Guy is killed by Mr. Burns for refusing to run for five whole minutes.
