is Bart's only
African-American friend, and one of only a handful of black students at
Springfield Elementary . Although one of the most minor characters in the show, Lewis appears frequently in scenes involving the Springfield children, and occasionally speaks. He is perhaps best known for his exclamation of "''In your face, fishwife''!" when the children broke
Curfew to watch horror movie ''The Bloodening'' at a drive-in cinema. He also failed to vote for
Bart Simpson when he stood for class president, helping to ensure his defeat to
Martin Prince . It has been suggested that Lewis may be the son of
Carl Carlson , but there does not appear to exist any evidence for this beyond the two chracaters' shared
Ethnicity . Bearing in mind the small number of
African American characters in
The Simpsons , Lewis' character is watched closely by aficionados of the show, hoping that his role will be expanded in the future.
