Peggy Black won a competition to create a new character for The Simpsons:
In pondering her contest entry, Black decided there was a void on “The Simpsons” and that Springfield needed “something like a Casanova,” she said.
[Ricardo] Bomba, a handsome, smooth-talking South American nicknamed “La Bomba,” works at the town’s nuclear power plant by day and “by night, works Springfield’s singles scene,” as Fox describes him.
Not bad … though I was hoping it would be a little more out of left field. He sounds awfully similar to Alberto Tomba, the Italian playboy Olympic ski gold medalist who was also dubbed “la Bomba”.
