Martin Prince Jr. is Springfield Elementary's resident genius, narc, and all around teacher's pet.
He also represented Finland in the mock United Nations (not NOW Martin!!).
He's pretty condescending towards his fellow classmates:
But he did rescue Bart from getting beaten up, by welcoming him into the refuge of the damned.
EXCELSIOR! |
Everyone is immediately charmed by Santa's Little Helper, and Mrs.Krabappel even gives him the cookies Martin made for her.
After Martin demands that the geode he brought in for Show and Tell be acknowledged, Bart puts Santa's Little Helper in the coat room.
Now you too can make your own batch of Raisin Roundies!
