- “Do you find something comical about my appearance when I am driving my automobile?”
- ―Ian the Very Tall Man
Ian is a man who goes around teaching bullies a lesson because he got bullied from second grade to high school.
At the age of 18 he was 8' 4" (2.53 meters) tall but currently he is 8' 2" (2.50 meters).
Biography[]
Ian is an extremely tall man who drives a Volkswagen Beetle and once taught Nelson a lesson when the bully was walking around town taunting people. After Nelson laughed at him for looking so comical (with his large, lanky frame squeezed into his small VW), Ian proceeded to get out of his car, pull down Nelson's pants which make him walk in his underpants, and point it out to everyone so they could laugh at him. Ian made Nelson walk through the streets, blowing kisses to the onlookers as Ian drove behind him.[1]
Ian is known to work in some capacity for Roger Meyers Jr. at Krustylu Studios. He is seen in the recording booth and may be either a writer or animator or both things.
Ian was also seen on a bus to New York where Homer mistakes Ian's legs with his legs and hits them before Marge tells him that those are not his legs. [2]
He shops at Royal Majesty for the Obese or Gangly Gentleman.
