Bart Simpson may have been an everlasting thorn in his teacher Mrs. Krabappel's side, but the grade-schooler will miss his acerbic instructor now that the voice actor behind the character, Marcia Wallace, has passed away.
In the opening sequence of The Simpsons on Sunday, Bart's classic chalkboard segment - which every week features the troublemaker writing lines in his classroom - saw the student standing in front of a single line of text reading "We'll really miss you Mrs. K." Bart, who usually scowls as he writes his weekly lines, instead stands forlornly in front of the message, chalk in hand.
Marcia Wallace died on Oct. 26 of complications resulting from breast cancer. At that time, Simpsons producer Al Jean said the long-running Fox cartoon would be retiring her Mrs. Krabappel character, clarifying that recent reports claiming that a popular Simpsons character would be killed off this season were not centred on Mrs. K.
Wallace, who won an Emmy for her voice work on the Simpsons in 1992, was 70 years old at the time of her death.
