Marge Simpson — the blue beehived matriarch of America’s most-loved dysfunctional family - is Playboy magazine’s November cover.
Simpson, tastefully concealing her assets behind a signature Playboy Bunny chair, is the first cartoon character to appear on the front of the glossy adult magazine, joining the ranks of sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe and model Cindy Crawford.
Playboy said the cover celebrates the 20th season of the “The Simpsons” — the longest-running comedy on U.S. television. Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie have already been honored with a set of U.S. postal stamps.
The magazine promises a story inside called “The Devil in Marge Simpson” and another three pages of pictures.
“The Simpsons” debuted as a series in December 1989 with a Christmas-themed episode called “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.” The animated series has won 24 primetime Emmys and was renewed by Fox television earlier this year for two more seasons.
The November issue of Playboy will hit newsstands on October 16.
