Lewis 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.
