Honest Abe Linkletter was a principal of Springfield Elementary School.

History[edit]

When Principal Skinner was leaving to go to a principals' convention, he spoke to the portrait of Honest Abe Linkletter to ask for advice on what to do about the school's puma statue. Skinner realized that he was talking to an inanimate object and walked off. The portrait of Honest Abe Linkletter then spoke, asking what that was all about. The portrait of Shady George Wilkinson replied that Skinner was losing it.

Behind the Laughter[edit]

Honest Abe Linkletter is a parody of former US president Abraham Lincoln.
