![]() ![]() The summer camp story is not properly considered a retcon and more as an addition to their story, but The Simpsons has made other changes to Homer and Marge’s backstory that don’t add up, mostly revolving around the time when she got pregnant with Bart. Since then, Homer and Marge have been inseparable, but the story of how they met was changed in season 15’s episode “The Way We Weren’t”, where it was revealed that they met way earlier, at summer camp when they were kids, but Homer used a fake name and she didn’t know it was him until many years later. Marge then took her car and went after Homer, who was walking home alone. She then agreed to go to prom with Artie Ziff instead of Homer, but he tried to force himself upon her at the end of the night, and she demanded to be taken home. Homer pretended to be a French student in order to be tutored by Marge and thus get close to her, but she found out he was lying. In the episode “The Way We Was”, Homer and Marge met in high school in 1974 when Marge was sent to detention after attending a feminist rally, and Homer and Barney were there for smoking in the boy’s restroom. ![]() Related: Every Simpsons Episode That Isn't Canon (Besides Treehouse of Horrors) As mentioned above, The Simpsons has a floating timeline, which makes it possible for the characters to never age, but it has also left some big questions about their lives, especially Homer and Marge’s backstory. The show has also taken some time to explore the future (though all those episodes are considered non-canon) and the past, especially how Homer and Marge met and how they began building their family. The Simpsons follows the daily adventures of the title family and other notable citizens of Springfield, both friends and enemies. ![]()
