Biography
Dolph is recognized by his asymmetrical haircut, which covers one eye. He wears cutoff shorts and Chuck Taylor All-Stars style basketball shoes. Dolph is 17 years old. He is also left-handed.

Dolph is a 6th grade student at Springfield Elementary. Dolph once attended Hebrew school,[1] and according to a school profile, he can speak "Spanish, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Latin, Old English, English, Klingon, and Esperanto".[2] Dolph has two fathers: one of them has an eye patch and the same haircut as Dolph;[3] he is shown next to Kearney's and Jimbo's dads.

Behind the Laughter
Dolph was named after one of Matt Groening's classmates from Lincoln High School named Dolph Timmerman. Groening stated that Timmerman was not a bully but just a real cool guy.
Dolph is generally regarded as the most mysterious of Jimbo's group and never really has a big part until seasons 19,20,& 21. He is also Jewish as shown in season 20 episode 9. 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. 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. In the episode I, D'oh-Bot, when Bart moons the bullies on his collapsing 10-speed bike, Jimbo and Kearey grimace, but Dolph shouts out "No one does that to Dolph! NO ONE!", a possible reference to him becoming more of a main character.
