27->''"I think what's weird about WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons, and why I wanted to look into this, is that the actual status quo says something about Bart, and especially Lisa, that might not actually be true: That Bart's popularity and Lisa's unpopularity might be more of a status quo thing than a character thing. The Simpsons essentially took a snapshot of a specific point in their lives, [[ComicBookTime and broadcasted it for thirty years]], so the timing of that snapshot is extremely important. Sure, Lisa has supposedly made more cumulative friends over the years, but if we look at almost any random episode the odds are Bart has more friends than her: Lisa is unpopular, Lisa has no friends, none of the kids can relate to her. But over thirty-plus seasons, the show has demonstrated time after time after time that Lisa can make new connections, and that her social circle is surprisingly large. How can Lisa make so many friends and still be so lonely? Fundamentally, how should we define a character: By their status quo, or by their actions?"''
