RIP Edna Krabappel

Sadly, Marcia Wallace, who voiced Edna Krabappel on the Simpsons for the past quarter of a century (!!!), passed away last weekend. DCIst lists some of the best episodes with Mrs. Krabappel. Personally? I do like that Halloween episode and the one with Gordie Howe.
10. "Treehouse of Horror V, Nightmare Cafeteria" 1994
The one in which the entire faculty begins feasting on children, starting with German exchange student Uter. One of Mrs. K's most memorable "Hah!" comes after Skinner admits the burger she's eating is made out of bully Jimbo Jones. She says, "it's so young and impudent." The homework assignment to the dwindling class: "Eat a stick of butter" as she gleefully croaks, "Detention" to the quaking students.

1. "Bart the Lover," 1992
Bart decides to play a prank on his teacher by sending her love letters as fictitious dreamboat "Woodrow." When he realizes how heartbroken she is after being stood up, he turns to his family to draft the ultimate farewell letter that will let her down gently.
