The Simpsons are surprisingly durable, even when compared to other cartoon characters. Homer in particular has survived more punishment than most, always bouncing back from his brushes with death with relative ease. But as the show has become more willing to tease out the future fates of their characters in flashforward episodes, Homer has been shown slowing down and enjoying the quieter parts of life for what they are. The latest example of this might also be the last, as it quietly reveals how the family moves on without him.Season 35’s “It’s a Blunderful Life (directed by Matthew Nastuk and written by Elisabeth Kiernan Averick) reveals the final fate of Homer Simpson, showcasing how the family comes together in the wake of his passing. Taking place decades after the present-day setting of the show, the Simpsons’ first Thanksgiving without Homer quietly reveals that he ultimately got the life he always wanted, surrounded by loved ones and passing away peacefully. It’s a bittersweet revelation, but one that feels perfectly attuned to Homer as a character and to the overarching themes of The Simpsons.Although Homer struggles to convince anyone — especially Marge — of his innocence, the truth eventually comes out and Marge invites the entire repentant town to share Thanksgiving dinner with them. While this portion of the episode is told in present-day Springfield, the episode’s framing device is instead set sixty years into the future, focusing on a Thanksgiving gathering at the Simpsons’ home.
