List Of Recurring The Simpsons Characters
Otto Mann voiced by Harry Shearer is the school bus driver for Springfield Elementary School. Otto is notable for his maniacal driving style (which, along with never getting a driver's license, cost him his job on the season three episode "The Otto Show"), his love of heavy metal music, drugs and his propensity for sounding and acting like a perpetual 1980s teenager. In early seasons he is often used as a friend and confidant to Bart, despite their age difference. Later seasons, however, usually only depict him as a passerby citizen of Springfield who does drugs (mostly marijuana and hallucinogens). He is a (last-minute) member of Homer's bowling team, the "Pin Pals". Otto is a skilled guitarist, and (momentarily) takes pride in the fact that this was the only thing he achieved during high school. In "The Otto Show" and "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge," it's revealed that Otto is a military brat (his father was an admiral in the Navy) and the two don't get along at all. On season 18's "The Mook, The Chef, The Wife, and Her Homer," Otto reveals that he and Kearney were in the same third grade class, implying that Otto, much like Kearney, is older than his outward appearance would have others believe.

“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents; and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
