| Character Information
|
The Capital City Goofball is the mascot for Capital City.
History
Capital City Goofball shared the stage with Homer when he was an act for Capital City. 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 a congressional meeting, he brings that the state should change their flag, saying the Confederate Symbol on it was an embarrassment, especially because they were a Northern state.
Traits
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).
Behind the Laughter
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 has never had any further speaking lines.
Model
His appearance seems to have been inspired by the mascot of the Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball team, Goldie.
Retirement
With the death of Tom Poston in 2007, it is likely that this character will be retired, if the precedent regarding Troy McClure and Lunchlady Doris after the deaths of Phil Hartman and Doris Grau is followed.
