The Simpsons

Edna Krabappel was a prominent character in the animated sitcom, The Simpsons. She served as the jaded and cynical fourth-grade teacher at Springfield Elementary School.

Voiced primarily by Marcia Wallace, Edna was characterized by her chain-smoking habit, sarcastic wit, and perpetual search for a meaningful relationship. Her classroom management skills were often questionable, marked by apathy and reliance on outdated teaching methods.

Edna's romantic life was a recurring storyline, featuring unsuccessful dates and fleeting relationships. She notably had a long-running, on-again-off-again romance with Ned Flanders, ultimately marrying him in the show's twenty-third season.

Following Marcia Wallace's death in 2013, the character of Edna Krabappel was retired from The Simpsons, with the show paying tribute to her memory. While storylines involving her absence were minimal, references to her presence and impact on Springfield remained.
