~ Nedward Flanders, Sr.[src]

Nedsel "Daddio" Flanders[2], also known as Nedward Flanders, Sr.[3][4], is the beatnik husband of Agnes Flanders, the father of Nedward Flanders Jr. and Nediana Flanders and the paternal grandfather of Rod and Todd Flanders.

Biography[]

He and his wife brought Ned to Dr. Foster when they found that he was difficult to control.[5] His father was Neduchadnezzar Flanders and his mother was Winifred Trout.

He possibly served during World War II, since Abraham Simpson once referred to a "Commander Flanders" when scolding Private Charles Montgomery Burns.[6] He apparently used to discipline his son, as he claimed that he "gave up rules" when he and his wife became beatniks.

Nedsel is still alive, as he was shown attending his son's wedding to Edna and was later seen with his son on multiple occasions.

A discrepancy with his name has occurred over the years. In the episodes, he is called "Nedward," but in comic issues, as well as the Flanders' Book of Faith's Flanders' family tree, he is called "Nedsel."

According to the Simpsons Comic "Granddaddy-o!" (printed in Simpsons Comics 204), Agnes and Nedward were Bleeding Gums Murphy's godparents.

Nedward has very different views from his son, and they’re often seen arguing over it. Ned has admitted to hating his parents in Hurricane Neddy, but he still tries to have a relationship with them most likely due to his morals.

Description[]

Nedward looks a lot like his son except for the goatee and his grey hair. He wears a striped shirt and, like his wife, occasionally wears a black beret.
