Wiske

Wiske is a fictional character from the animated television series *The Simpsons*, created by Matt Groening and originally introduced in the episode "Marge vs. the Monorail" (Season 2, Episode 13). The character is a small, round, and often mischievous creature that resembles a cross between a squirrel and a raccoon. Wiske is known for his quick wit, playful antics, and tendency to cause minor chaos in Springfield, particularly around the Simpsons' home.

Wiske first appears in the episode where he steals a monorail car, leading to a comedic chase involving the entire town. His name is derived from the Dutch word for "willow," reflecting his slender and agile appearance. Over the years, Wiske has appeared in multiple episodes, often serving as a source of humor through his antics, though he is rarely the central focus. His interactions with the Simpsons family, particularly Homer and Lisa, are frequently highlighted, though he rarely speaks beyond a few words or sounds.

While Wiske is not a recurring main character, his appearances have contributed to the series' lighthearted storytelling. His design and behavior make him a memorable and occasionally amusing side character in *The Simpsons* lore. The character has also appeared in various *Simpsons* spin-offs, including *The Simpsons Movie* and *Futurama*, though his role remains relatively minor.
