Cuadro Homero

Cuadro is Spanish for a framed picture, and Homero is what Homer Simpson has been called in Spanish-speaking households since the show first aired. Put together they give you exactly what they sound like: a wall piece carrying that profile, the bald dome with its two stubborn hairs, the heavy jaw and the round staring eyes, worked as relief rather than ink on paper. Decor with a joke in it goes where a serious picture would not, which is half the reason to hang one. It suits a games room, a home office wall, a downstairs loo, a hallway that needs breaking up, or a shelf where it can lean instead of hang. For anyone who grew up with the show it is the kind of thing that gets noticed and remarked on every time someone new walks past.
