In the Dark
Dolph is generally regarded as the most mysterious of Jimbo's group and never really has a big part until seasons 19,20,& 21. Dolph is also known as the best looking out of them. He's starting to have more speaking parts and he could be the softest out of the group, however we have seen he is not as soft as Nelson Muntz. His real name is Dolph, some fans have offered criticism for the show's writers, citing that in The Simpsons' nearly twenty year run, Dolph is one of very few characters to have been almost completely ignored. Dolph is also a very minor character compared to Jimbo and Kearney and he doesn't speak as much as them. However in newer seasons he tends to be speak more regularly than in the earlier episodes. He also has made quite a few speaking appearances in the 20th season. Dolph did also play a major role in 24 Minutes along with Jimbo and Kearney. Dolph is also the smartest and knows how to get away with things.
