Persk

Persk is a fictional character from the animated television series "The Simpsons," created by Matt Groening. Introduced in the episode "Homer the Heretic," Persk is a member of the Church of the Disappeared Cow, a parody of the Church of Scientology. Persk is known for his eccentric behavior and his role as a preacher within the church. He is often seen wearing a distinctive outfit that includes a white robe and a cowboy hat, and he frequently uses the phrase "You're under a cow!" to refer to the church's belief in the existence of a disappeared cow.

Persk's character is often used to satirize religious fanaticism and the cult-like behavior of Scientology. He is portrayed as a somewhat dim-witted but well-meaning individual, often getting into humorous situations due to his lack of common sense. Despite his eccentricities, Persk is generally well-liked by the other members of the church and is seen as a valuable asset to the community.

In the episode "Homer the Heretic," Persk plays a significant role in Homer Simpson's conversion to the Church of the Disappeared Cow. This event leads to a series of humorous and absurd situations, as Homer struggles to adapt to the church's beliefs and practices. Persk's character continues to appear in various episodes of "The Simpsons," often providing comic relief and contributing to the show's overall satire of religion and cult-like behavior.
