Meet Bob

F.B.I. Case File #122018-77SPN Sideshow Bob

NAME: Robert Underdunk Terwilliger.

ALIAS: Sideshow Bob.

DAY JOB: Children's Entertainer, prison inmate, construction chief for the Springfield Dam project.

NIGHT JOB: Politician, killer, evil supervillain.

PREVIOUS OFFENSES: Attempted murder (Bart and Selma); framing Krusty for armed robbery; election fraud; holding TV ransom with an old atomic bomb.

PARTNERS IN CRIME:

• Birch Barlow- A political commentator, and ultra-conservative who has a radio show in Springfield, and helped Bob get released from Prison in "Sideshow Bob Roberts"
• Cecil- Bob's younger brother was jealous when Bob accidentally got his dream job--the part of the sidekick on the Krusty the Clown show. He caused serious trouble for Bob, and Springfield itself in one episode.

ARCHENEMIES:

• Bart Simpson- Bart has stopped one after another of Bob's evil plots.
• Lisa Simpson- Lisa often helps Bart defeat Sideshow Bob, and may even be more instrumental in some of his defeats than Bart. But as Tewilleger himself puts it, "...and Lisa, to whom I'm fairly indifferent."
• Krusty the Klown- Krusty abused Bob for years on his TV show, and Bob thinks of him as an uncultured, annoying slob.
• Rakes- According to Bob himself, rakes are his oldest archenemy.

KNOWN HIDEOUTS: Springfield Penetentiary (both maximum and minimum security), the Duff Blimp, City Hall.

Sideshow Bob's woes began when he decided that he was fed up with being mistreated by Krusty the Clown (he also didn't care for Krusty's boorish manners). He framed Krusty for a Kwik-E-Mart robbery, but Bart and Lisa Simpson proved that Krusty was innocent. Ever since Bob has held a grudge against Bart. He attempted to kill him on at least one occassion, and he has caused numerous other problems. He attempted to kill Selma, take over Springfields television sets, and became Mayor of Springfield for a few days. He turned over a new leaf when his brother Cecil helped him find an honest job, but Cecil's plotting landed both brothers in jail. After getting out of prison yet again, Sideshow Bob attempted to hypnotize Bart Simpson into killing Krusty, but his plot failed when he learned that Krusty really respected him.
Recently Bob was released for a short period of time to help identify someone who was trying to kill Homer Simpson. It turned out that the would-be killer was Hank Grimes, son of Frank "Grimey" Grimes. Sideshow Bob also came within an inch of killing Bart Simpson but found he couldn't do it.

APPEARANCES: Bob appears once every couple of seasons to stir up trouble. He has also made many cameo appearances, and he appears regularly in Simpson comics.
