Book Information
|
Homer, I Hardly Knew Me is Homer's autobiography. He keeps several stacks of unsold copies in the attic.[1] The book is also on the non-fiction shelf at Springfield Library.[2]
History
Bart and Lisa found the stacks of copies of the book when they were in the attic trying to track down the origin of strange noises they had been hearing. The noises turned out to be coming from Bart's previously unknown and formerly conjoined twin Hugo.[1]
Behind the Laughter
- The title is a reference to Germaine Greer's 1989 biography of her father, Daddy, We Hardly Knew You, which was borrowed in turn from the 19th century Irish folk song "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye".
It is also a reference to a comedic bit about words ending on - er, e.g. "Homer? I hardly know her".
