Dr Julius Hibbert, GP at Springfield General Hospital, has seen the Simpsons through the best and worst of times.
From the births of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, to the time Homer nearly died from eating blowfish at the Happy Sumo sushi restaurant, Hibbert has lent comfort and reassurance, as long as it involved cash up front.
His peculiar brand of gallows humor (informing patients that their legs will have to come off when he really means their wet bathing suits, jokingly telling wives their husbands are dead) may be annoying, but in Hibbert's view, laughter is the best medicine of all. Even if he's the only one laughing.
Some of Hibbert's most outstanding medical achievements include removing an appendix with his pocket knife and (in 1976) having the largest Afro at Springfield General.
