Which popular "Simpsons" characters have died in the past year?

If you said Bleeding Gums Murphy and Dr. Marvin Monroe, you are wrong: they were never popular.

Mel came on board after Bob went to prison, so probably not.

Did that cult he joined near the end of his life ever clone him? Or did they just take his cash.

 That was actually decent. The B plot felt tacked on but there were several laughs in there which is more than I can say for most of last season.

They stopped doing meta commentary on the show itself. They were doing it a lot for awhile but I guess at some point the show's longevity passed the point of parody.

Last season they would end the story at act 3 and come back for an extra 10 second joke before the credits.
