The Strong Man

The Strong Man is a strong man at The Burnsum and Bailey Circus.

History
Margarete sticks up once for the freaks and demands Mr. Burnsum show them some respect. After Lenny and Carl suggest Moe should ask her out, despite her being engaged to Strong Man Homer, and remind Moe of his emerald ring. Homer overhears the three talking and conceives a plan to rob Moe of his ring - he'll persuade Margarete to marry Moe, then he'll murder Moe, then Margarete will inherit the ring, then he'll marry Margarete and the ring will finally be his. In her trailer, Homer tells Margarete of Moe's fast-approaching death and suggests she make his last day of life a happy one by marrying him. He wins her over and she agrees. Moe and Margarete are soon wed and when they return to their trailer, Homer sneaks in and slips poison into Moe's wine glass. Margarete learns of Homer's plan to kill Moe to get his ring and demands he leave her trailer. On his way back to his own trailer, Homer discovers Mr. Burnsum's body hanging from a tree after being murdered by the freaks. They emerge from the shadows with hammers and knives shouting "One of us! One of us!" They tar and feather him from the neck down, transforming him into the latest freak show presentation - "The World's Strongest Duck."
