Frank Grimes Factfile

From 'The Homer Book'.

Frank Grimes (Homer's beleaguered former co-worker (R.I.P))
Frank Grimes, 35-year-old Springfieldite, earns everything the hard way, but never lets adversity get him down - until he meets Homer Simpson. Homer's incompetence and nincompoopery drives Grimes into a sputtering, out-of-control rage. Imitating Homer, Grimes capers wildly around the nuclear facilities, madly chewing donuts, waggling his butt, and, finally, electrocuting himself on some high voltage wires.
