Lenny sees an image of Carl, and Carl sees an image of himself. In another episode, Lenny recalls Bart offering Carl and Lenny $1,000 to kiss, and Carl asks Lenny, "Hey, did we ever get that money?" (Although this was in the non-canon ''[[Behind the Laughter]]'' episode, where the characters are shown as actors portraying themselves). On another occasion, Lenny and Carl are at the Springfield Baseball Stadium, watching the Kiss Cam, and Lenny says: "Hey Carl, remember when we used to kiss like that...[pause] with our respective girlfriends?" In the episode ''[[Ice Cream of Margie]]'', Lenny says he can't tell apart the remains of his sculpture with Carl's remarking "I don't know where Carl ends and I begin!", Carl then says "it's stuff like this that makes everyone think we're gay." At times, Carl gets annoyed at Lenny. In ''[[Mountain of Madness]]'', when Carl learns that he is paired with Lenny in a team-building exercise on a power plant retreat, his irritated response is, "Aw, nuts. I mean... aw, nuts." Carl, along with [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] share a similar sounding surname: Carlson and Leonard. In the Simpsons Game, Carl and Lenny are shown arguing while bird-watching, and having forgotten Lisa and Bart's names when they save Lenny and Carl from logging machinery, even though Lenny and Carl have known them all their lives. During a conversation in the Springfield Hub, Carl and Bernice Hibbert are hinted to have had a past relationship, that Carl wants to rekindle. | + | <!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Lennysheaven.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Lenny's version of Heaven, as seen in [[Treehouse of Horror XVI]].]] -->In another episode, ''[['Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky]]'', various characters look at the stars to "see into their souls".
