WEHT Marge's Father

Marge's father has been 'presumed' dead. According to the old
periodical, Simpsons Illustrated, he died in a freak rollar coaster
accident. On the show, he was eaten by King Homer in THoH 3.
However, I'm inclined to believe that he will make a 'surprise'
appearence in a future episode. He is probably the most unused /
underreffered family member on the show.

This is a pet peeve of mine.
Any incident in a Halloween episode is NOT a part of Springfield lore.
If it was, then how do you explain Flanders coming back to life after being
killed by Homer cause he was a zombie, or every kid in school also being
revived after being eaten by the faculty, or the starnge disappearance of
President Kang?
The Simpsons reality is tenuous enough, let's not muddy it with these kind of
statements.

I wouldn't have brought up Marge's father's "death" in a THoH episode,
but that is, I think, the ONLY reference of him dying on the show.
(Personally, I don't count his "death" in a Simpsons Illustrated
magazine.)

Also, why did they show a clip from the first Halloween special on "So It's
Finally Come to this" (Homer abducted by aliens) and a clip from the fourth
special on "Another Simpsons Clip Show" (mmm... forbidden donut) if these
things never "really happened" on the show?

Actually, we did see him on "The Way We Was", but that's not the
contradiction. That comes in another episode, where Marge says her father
served in the navy, and was a baby photographer. Which episode was that in?

If he isn't dead, how do you explain the entire plot of "Lady Bouvier's
Lover"? Unless they're divorced, we've just learned some interesting facts
about Marge's mother . . .

Why would anybody consider this a contradiction? Obviously, the man changed
career fields, perhaps moving to baby photographer because he got tired of
the travel involved with being an airline steward.

If you look at it that way, I'd think he switched from being a baby
photographer to steward. He was a steward right after "coming back from the
Navy after the war", which I presume means WWII, so that would be about
1945. He was a steward when Marge was young. In fact, another flashback in
"Fear of Flying" shows Marge's first day of school was when the Monkees were
popular, so this would probably be 1966. He must have switched careers in
between, possibly in the Fifties.
"My father ... was a stewardess."

Actually, Marge's father worked as a Navy spy posing as a steward.
When he got out, his ability to curse everything that breathed were no
longer necessary, so he used the swear jar to combat his desire to be a
baby photographer.

Also, how does Hans Moleman come back to life after being electrocuted, blown
up in a car, blown up in a truck, having his head drilled by Burns and so on.
