Sideshow Bob has been trying to kill Bart ever since he exposed Bob’s plan to frame Krusty the Clown for robbery in 1990.
He’ll only be dead for the Halloween episode, because, as writer/producer Al Jean tweeted: ‘We’re not nuts.’
Jean didn’t want Bob to be like the coyote with the roadrunner, and never fulfill his goal.
“When I was a kid I wanted the rabbit to get the Trix,” he said. “I hated frustration comedies. So we will scratch that itch in the Halloween episode.”
