Playboy magazine is turning over its cover to the matriarch of Springfield’s first family: Marge Simpson.
Marge and her pile of bright blue hair are set to grace the cover of the November issue of Playboy. It will hit the newsstands Friday.
Marge isn’t going to bare all, though, as the magazine says there will only be “implied nudity” in the three-page pictorial.
It’s a first for the magazine, which has had people as varied as Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford, the Girls of Hooters and even Jerry Seinfeld on the cover. But it’s never had a cartoon character. Chief Executive Scott Flanders said the idea was to attract readers in their 20s to a magazine whose average reader is 35.
