InThe Simpsons, Ned is the long-suffering next-door neighbor of the titular family.
“The Flandshees of Innersimpson” focuses largely on Nedand his decision to never speak to Homer again.
Furious Homer was capable of such emotional maturity all along, but continued to be a jerk towards him.
Flanders lashes out by trying to destroy everything Homer ever borrowed from Ned.
That detail is quietly a big ret-con in “The Flandshees of Innersimpson.”
It also matches the cartoony nature of later seasons ofThe Simpsonscompared to the relatively more grounded early seasons.
For Christianity, Ned recounts his prior job as a door-to-door salesman decades prior.
It even draws attention to the way both men settle back into the status quo after each fight.
Regardless, this ret-con speaks to the flexible canon ofThe Simpsonsthat nevertheless remains consistent on a character level.
