The Capital City Goofball represents Capital City in the state Congress; he spent 80 million dollars out of his own pocket to win the seat. During one congressional meeting, he said that the state should change its flag, as the Confederate Symbol on it was an embarrassment, especially because they were a Northern state.[3]

At some point he had a relationship with Mrs. Muntz.[5]

Description[edit]

The costume is a creature with a baseball body, with a blue Capital City T-Shirt, yellow arms and legs, a long flat-ended nose, tufts of fur at the side, a red hat with two springs, two costume eyes that look in either direction, and two more eyes that peek outside the mouth (the eyes of the person wearing the costume). It is flame-retardant, vegetable-repellent, an bulletproof.[1]

Behind the Laughter[edit]

The episode "Homer to the Max" implies that the Capital City Goofball was originally conceived as a major recurring character, but has only appeared in occasional background scenes since his debut episode, and only ever had one other speaking role.

He appears on the disc holder in the Season 17 boxset.

Model[edit]

His appearance seems to have been inspired by the Phillie Phanatic, mascot of the Philadelphia Phillies. Goldie, the mascot of the Winnipeg Goldeyes, an independent minor league baseball team which came into existence in 1994, may have been inspired by the Capital City Goofball.
