Shelby's father is the unnamed father of Shelby. He works at the Shelbyville Car Impound Lot.

History[edit]

Bart, Milhouse, Nelson, Martin, Todd, and Database headed into Shelbyville to get back an iconic lemon tree that was stolen from Springfield. The tree was hidden and guarded by some Shelbyvillian children, led by Shelby, at the Shelbyville Car Impound Lot. When Homer and the other parents found their kids, they were strongly offended with the people from Shelbyville for stealing their lemon tree and went to speak with Shelby's father. This man was the owner of the Shelbyville Car Impound Lot, and he was negated to return the tree. Springfield parents then used a "Trojan Horse" technique to get into the Car Impound. They parked Ned's RV in front of the Shelbyville Hospital in order for the RV to be towed into the Car Impound Lot. They managed to do that and later scaped with the lemon tree, with Shelby's father almost catching them.

Behind the Laughter[edit]

The character is a bit of a doppelgänger for Homer so Hank Azaria based the voice on Walter Matthau since Dan Castellaneta had also originally based Homer's voice on Walter Matthau.[1]
