Van Houten family
The Van Houtens are a family native to Springfield consisting of Kirk, Luann, and Milhouse. All three look alike: cobalt blue hair, red coke-bottle glasses, and giant, softball-sized noses, similar to earlier characters Akbar and Jeff from Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic strip. They are some of the few characters with eyebrows. Kirk and Luann got a divorce in "A Milhouse Divided", but remarried in "Little Orphan Millie".
Principal members[edit]
Others members[edit]
The grandparents introduced in the show have the same physical characteristics as Milhouse and his parents, making it more unclear just whose parents (Kirk's or Luann's) they are. They consist of:
Grandpa Van Houten, Kirk's father
Grandma Van Houten, Kirk's mother
Nana Sophie Mussolini, Luann's mother
Annika Van Houten, Milhouse's Dutch cousin
Kirkedemious Van Houten, distant relative and early explorer of Costa Rica
Norbert Van Houten, Milhouse's Danish uncle
Some family members do not have pictures including:
- Luann's half-brother, Bastardo
- Bastardo's father, an American soldier
- Luann's unnamed sister
- Grandpa Van Houten's second wife
Non-canon relatives[edit]
- Zia Van Houten - (Milhouse's future daughter)
- Lisa Simpson - (Milhouse's future wife)
