It’s an empty bar stool at Moe’s Tavern.
“Larry the Barfly”, who has been with the series since the beginning, died in the last episode.
Now fans are mourning the classic character on social media.
“Larry the barfly” often sat next to his friend Sam at Moe’s Tavern and has been part of the classic sitcom series since its inception in 1990, writes the New York Post.
Although the character was not the most famous, he has been around since the first season’s third episode “Homer’s Odyssey” – which was released over 34 years ago.
Spotted Marge Simpson
The character rarely said a word but still appeared sporadically over the years.
In the season two episode “Bart gets hit by a car,” “Larry” spies Marge Simpson and calls out, “Who’s the chick?”

It was in the episode “Cremains of the day” when the series’ 35th season was shown that Larry died.
During a scene at the classic bar, bartender Moe gets angry because he lost a bet.
Moe then tries to throw out all the guests sitting around the table, but one of them sits still and doesn’t move from the spot.
It turns out that Larry died sitting on the barstool.
Homer, Moe and the two faithful bar patrons Lenny and Carl then go on a drive together to spread Larry’s ashes.
Fans express their grief
On social media, many fans have expressed their sadness at the death of the old character.
Before the episode aired, a user wrote on X:
“Just heard they’re killing off Larry on the Simpsons tomorrow. I need a minute”.
Another user lamented after the episode aired:
“I can’t believe they killed Larry on The Simpsons last night. RIPLarry ”.
