[The Simpsons] Why are Bart, Lisa, and Maggie the only kids in Springfield without normal hair? Archived post. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Is Bart Simpson's spiky blue hair genetic? Explore the genetics behind the Simpson kids' unique hair colors and discover the science of inheritance.
Bart is a ten-year old boy who has yellow skin and blond spiky hair (naturally pale red as revealed in " No Loan Again, Naturally ") that matches the color of his skin (similar to his sisters - on one occasion, this caused distress in all three of the siblings and had them wonder where their heads end and their hair actually starts), sports. The Simpsons ' characters' original look has been edited over time, forming the family's modern image. The one thing that has remained fairly consistent, however, is their unnatural hair.
Homer is stuck with comb-over squiggles, Marge keeps her blue beehive, and Lisa, Maggie, and Bart retain their spiky, yellow locks. The kids don't have hair, that's just the shape of their heads. For whatever twisted genetic reason, this family doesn't grow hair until puberty.
So we'll see what color Bart's hair actually is in several hundred years (the show's been on for over a decade, and he's still 9 - clearly this boy ages slowly). Bart in his first televised appearance in "Good Night" The Simpson family was designed to be easily recognizable in silhouette. [50][51] The characters were initially crudely drawn because Groening submitted rough sketches to the animators, expecting them to refine the designs, but they simply traced over his drawings.
[52] Bart's early design, featured in the first shorts, included hair with. "Bart, Lisa and Maggie have no hairlines - there's no line that separates their skin from their hair points. So the animators chose yellow - it's kinda skin, kinda hair.".
This is actually joked about in one episode (I forget which) when Bart asks where his hair begins, saying "Head, head, hair, where's the border? ", at which point Lisa realizes she has the same problem and gasps "What are we?". Does Bart Simpson have yellow hair? The one thing that has remained fairly consistent, however, is their unnatural hair. Homer is stuck with comb-over squiggles, Marge keeps her blue beehive, and Lisa, Maggie, and Bart retain their spiky, yellow locks.
