Playboy magazine is turning over its cover to the matriarch of Springfield’s first family: Marge Simpson.

The November issue will feature Marge in a five-page pictorial, as well as a two-page pullout poster, he said. It will hit the newsstands October 16.

In mid-July, Playboy approached Matt Groening, the creator of “The Simpsons,” and the television show’s creative team about the prospect of using Marge on the cover, Jellinek said.

“They were totally on board with the idea,” Jellinek said. “This is their 20th anniversary, and they’ve got an episode coming out called ‘The Devil Wears Nada,’ where Marge will disrobe, so this sort of goes in hand with all that.”

Currently Playboy has no plans to give other cartoon women, such as Betty Boop or Wilma Flintstone, a pictorial, Jellinek said.

Marge isn’t going to bare all, though, as the magazine says there will only be “implied nudity.”

New CEO Scott Flanders says the idea is to attract readers in their 20s to a magazine where the average reader’s age is 35.
