I voted Marge's mum - Abe is so lively and Jasper is just amazing!! Whereas I wouldn't be surprised if Marge's mum keeled over and died in the next episode.

He was "busted down the ranks" so ended up being outranked by Abe.
Originally posted by Gran: The oldest character IS Mr Burns. It was Cornelius Chapman, but he died, so it is now Mr Burns.
Gran your wrong, Abe Simpson is older than Mr Burns. Watch the episode Raging Abe Simpson and the Fighting Hellfish. In that when Abe Simpson is telling the story of the Hellfish Burns is in his late twenties while Abe is in his mid thirties!
