Wikipedia-Article "Ralph Wiggum"
Ralph Wiggum is a fictional character in the animated series The Simpsons. The character is voiced by Nancy Cartwright. Ralph Wiggum is the son of Police Chief Clancy Wiggum, and a classmate of Lisa Simpson at the Springfield Elementary School. Ralph is a good-hearted child, but has learning and social difficulties, which are evidenced by his tendency to utter hilarious and stupid sayings - such as "I bent my Wookiee" and "I'm going to live with my underground grandma" - throughout the course of the show. Ralph Wiggum is a caricature of a stereotype -- in this case, he is a caricature of the "'special' kid" archetype. Ralph can't understand where the world goes when the drapes are closed, indicating he has the mentality, roughly speaking, of a crazy three-year old. He has a slight crush on Lisa, though her feelings for him are best described as platonic pity.
It is debatable whether Ralph suffers from a simple learning disability, is socially awkward or is actually borderline schizophrenic, as evidenced by his hearing voices (such as the pyromaniacal leprechaun, see quotes, below ) or his preparation of a Crayola crayons sandwich for his father. However, he also possesses a surprising talent for acting, astonishing Lisa and others with his performance as George Washington in a school play. He is also poached from Lisa's newspaper "The Red Dress Press" by the Chicago Tribune who give him his own column, "Ralphings."
He has an imaginary friend named "Wiggle Puppy". As Chief Wiggum remarks, "That dog has had some amazing adventures."
A typical "Ralph moment" occurs when his class is doing craft activities, and Miss Hoover tells him to "please stop eating the paste." He is regularly bewildered by the teasing he receives when he reveals his ignorance to his more clued-in classmates. His cat's name is Mittens, which is strange because he considers that word to be a "swear." Ralph also has a pine cone which he claims is his "baby brother."
When Ralph originally appeared on the Simpsons, he wasn't associated with the Wiggum family (he also had a different voice & personality). He was actually envisioned as a mini-Homer. It was later on in the series that the writers decided that he would be perfect as the son of Police Chief Wiggum.
In the game The Simpsons Hit and Run, the Wiggum family lives right down the road from the Simpsons, which explains his ease of travel to the Simpsons' house and his bed washing in front of their house when Cecil, Sideshow Bob's brother, blew up the Springfield Dam. He's also Bart's "drinking buddy" in the future, when Lisa is President.
Like several other secondary characters from The Simpsons, Ralph Wiggum has a sort of cult following. This may be attributable to his frequently bizarre non sequiturs and endearing simplicity.
The band Bloodhound Gang released a song called "Ralph Wiggum" dedicated to the Simpson character.
