10 Wasted Simpsons Characters That Deserved Better

10. Miss Pennycandy

Before Krusty the Clown settled into his role as just another citizen in the crazy town of Springfield, he was a huge celebrity. He was a big deal, and as a TV personality more respected than all the scientists, doctors, and educators in the country put together, he had a secretary in Miss. Pennycandy.

Krusty's ego was far too big to begin with, and he felt his time not worthy of someone like Bart Simpson, who not only was one of his biggest ever fans, but actually saved him from going to jail. This was where Miss. Pennycandy's role came into things.

She acted as something of a conscience for Krusty when his own failed him. She all but forced him to go and see Bart when he wouldn't, and could have built an even greater relationship with Krusty should she have been kept around for longer, but instead she was limited to just three speaking appearances.

She has appeared next to Krusty as late as season 18's 'G.I. D'oh', so is clearly still living in Springfield and is part of the clown's staff, so why couldn't she have had any proper roles between then and season six's 'Homie the Clown' - the last time her voice was heard?
