Homer Simpson is a stolen character!!!

[Ogata]

I am very disappointed! I just found out that there was a character like Homer in 1949 name Adamson:

In this pic, he even has his blue jeans:

He was a vintage character from an Icelandic newspapers long before the Simpsons show. This is not even plagiarizing because its a straight up copy

I've suspected for years a similar thing went down with cola soft drinks.

Homer ain't white.

I thought Homer was a rip off of Garfield

All art borrows from other things. The show is highly satirical, so it makes sense that it would have it's own take on an already created character.

Originally he didnt really look that much or acted like the guy from the strip.
