A

will
remain
empty
at
Moe’s
Tavern
from
now
on.
After
all,
The
Simpsons
character
Larry
the
Barfly,
voiced
by
Harry
Shearer,
was
killed
off
after
35
seasons
on
the
longest-running
animated
series.
In
the
April
21
episode, “Cremains
of
the
Day,”
Homer
Simpson
and
friends
Lenny
Leonard
(also
voiced
by
Harry),
Carl
Carlson
and
Moe
Szyslak
feel
bad
about
knowing
so
little
about
Larry,
who
died
in
the
bar.
To
absolve
themselves
of
their
guilt,
the
four
venture
to
Serenity
Falls
to
spread
his
ashes.
The
765th
episode
of
the
series
was
the
first
to
give
insight
into
the
barfly—who
was
first
seen
in
the
1989
pilot—such
as
his
full
name
(that
would
be
Lawrence
Dalrymple)
and
his
love
for
fishing.
While
Larry
will
no
longer
be
part
of
Harry’s
repertoire,
he
will
continue
to
voice
several
other
characters,
including
Ned
Flanders,
Mr.
Burns,
Reverend
Lovejoy
and
Principal
Skinner—for
now.
