Larry the Barfly, a minor character has been part of the series since the very first episode in 1989 – “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire”. You might call him a big part of the show. However, in the latest episode of the iconic series “The Simpsons: Cremains of the Day”, it was killed off. Harry was a part of the show for 35 years.
