Van Houten family
Milhouse van Houten is a fictional character from the animated series The Simpsons. Bart Simpson's best friend, he is most distinctive for his extreme nearsightedness requiring thick glasses to correct. He is constantly led into trouble by the wilder Bart.
Milhouse harbors a most hopeless crush on Bart's younger sister, Lisa. In truth, the nature of his sexual orientation is actually left rather ambiguous, as the running joke about Milhouse is that he's gay. (Lisa thinks of him "more like a big sister.")
His father Kirk works at the cracker factory, in middle management. Later in the series, his mother and father get divorced. Interestingly, both his mother and father look alike, which is to say that they look like Milhouse: cobalt-blue hair, coke-bottle glasses, and giant toucan noses.
It is rumored that Milhouse was based on the famous "Paul" on the show The Wonder Years, as well as Milhouse's mother and father. He was named for Richard Nixon (whose middle name was Milhous) and, apparently, Manson follower Leslie Van Houten.
