Sorry, but I don't think you got either. (But then I could be wrong)
Homer Simpson is bald except for (exactly) 3 hairs in a comb-over and
some zig-zag fringe.
His HEAD, and the rest of all the caucasion characters' skin-tone on
the show is yellow - it's been a running gag on the series since it's
inception.

The relevance is, if I'm going to use licensed characters, I'd prefer
to use as close to the original artists' conceptions as possible.
It's tribute to whatever characters I use rather than parody,
statement, or individualism. One might choose to make Disney's 7
dwarves rainbow colors as a socio-political statement, but if one just
wants the characters to be taken at face value, or for memory/
sentimental purposes, one may likely want to color them as close as
depicted in Snow White as one could. That's all.

when i said i got the hair colour thing i meant his skin colour.

the rest went right over my head but then alot of things do now.
nothing will ever be the same again.
and as i said, i no longer have any personal culture to fall back on.
i'm born/raised american but have now spent more of my life in nz but
nz'rs all only hear what little is left of my american accent
and when i go to usa they hear none of my american accent.
i have no country, no countrymen who accept me as i am cuz i dont sound like
i'm from anywhere in particular to the rest of the world.
not that it makes a damn bit of difference to the scheme of things.
nothing much matters anymore.
big fat 'oh well'.

I think you are my sister....sometimes you write just what
I'm thinking....right down to the 'oh well'. If it's family you're
looking for, I'd like nothing better then to be your big sis.
