Which Simpsons character best represents the Drupal community?

Blog by Angie ByronMarch 9, 2010 - 4:29pm

In preparation for the Bringing it All Back Home: CMS Communities panel at SXSW, which I'll be speaking at on Saturday, I posed the following question on Twitter and in #drupal:

Which Simpsons character best represents the #Drupal community and why?

And the winner, in terms of number of responses, was...

What about Professor Frink

No you can't play with it, you won't enjoy it on as many levels as i do.

Sorry the site was late. There was problems in the programming pit with the running and the exploding and the crying and the monkeys stealing the glasses off my head.

Oh so many parallels.
