Can't this article begin by setting some context, saying "In the cartoon 'The Simpsons', Abraham is Homer's father..." etc.? The article should not assume the reader is familiar with that cartoon. -- Mike Hardy

Go ahead and modify it.  :-) -- Zoe

Can't you do it yourself lazy ass

With regards to Abraham's parenthood, what about the British woman in the Regina Monologues?

Should Grandpa Simpson redirect here?

This article names him Abraham Jasper Simpson. Source, please? --AidPc 11:19, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

"English speaking European country, most likely Ireland, Wales, or Scotland"? In one episode it shows Abe talking to his father, and he has a Scottish accent.

I am from the UK, and that accent is Northern English, not Scottish. Moreover, Simpson is an English name.XmarkX 11:05, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

It may be of English origin, but that doesn't mean anything. My last name (no, Biff Loman isn't my real name!) is of Scottish origin, but there are people in Scotland, England, and Ireland with that same name. Along the Scotland-England border, it was probably not uncommon. Biff Loman 19:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

AidPc is right, where did they ever say his middle name was Jasper? Every official source i've seen just lists his middle initial as "J" and doesn't say what it stands for. TJ Spyke 01:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grandpa's Age

83 seems too low. In World War 2 flashbacks, he appears to be in his 30s. In flashbacks to Homer's childhood, Abe is definitely middle aged. Biff Loman 19:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

What episode is the source on the age? --John Sadloske 23:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal homepage

What about adding the name of Grampa's homepage? It says Welcome to my homepage. Why don't you visit more often?. This si in episode 15x05 --Jangli 11:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grampa's Album
