Wendell is an albino boy who is a classmate of Bart Simpson in Mrs. Krabappel'sfourth grade class. He is often seen playing with classmates such as Richard and Lewis, and is also good friends with Martin Prince, who helped him with his election as class president against Bart[2]. He is considered one of the nerds of the school along with Martin, Database and several others, making him a constant and easy target of Nelson and other bullies; however, he might also have some run-ins with the school rules, as he was seen in detention.[3] Wendell was also one of the children who become stranded on the island with his fellow Model UN Club colleagues.[4] His skin color sometimes changes to yellow in the background, such as in "Little Girl in the Big Ten", in which he is punched in the stomach by Nelson for lunch money.[5] When the Simpson family get a new trampoline, he's among the kids invited to their place to jump on it, but the trampoline turns out to be hazardous and several kids end up getting hurt, including Wendell. At one point, he falls and exclaims "My arm!"[6]

Wendell about to throw up

In the Treehouse of Horror XXVI segment “WANTED: Dead Then Alive!”, Bart swings Wendell around 14 times on a roundabout, in a gambling game. However, the latter pukes on 14, thus meaning Bart keeps all the money.
Voice Actor
Throughout the series, he has been voiced by Jo Ann Harris, Pamela Hayden, Nancy Cartwright and Russi Taylor. This is because of the fact that he rarely speaks and therefore does not have a specific voice actor. His most recent speaking appearance was in Stealing First Base, where he asks a student in the other fourth-grade class if he can sit with him.
