Bart Simpson is a fictional character in the American animated television series The Simpsons who is part of the Simpson family. Described as one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century by Time, Bart was created and designed by Matt Groening in James L. Brooks's office. Bart, alongside the rest of the family, debuted in the short "Good Night" on The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. Two years later, the family received their own series, which premiered on Fox on December 17, 1989. Born on April Fools' Day according to Groening, Bart is ten years old; he is the eldest child and only son of Homer and Marge Simpson, and has two sisters, Lisa and Maggie. Voiced by Nancy Cartwright (pictured), Bart is known for his mischievousness, rebelliousness, and disrespect for authority, as well as his prank calls to Moe, chalkboard gags in the opening sequence, and catchphrases. Bart is considered an iconic fictional television character of the 1990s and has been called an American cultural icon. (Full article...)

A ghillie suit is a type of camouflage clothing designed to resemble the background environment, such as foliage. Typically, it is a net or cloth garment covered in loose strips of burlap (hessian), cloth, twine, or jute sometimes made to look like leaves and twigs, and optionally augmented with foliage from the area. Military personnel, police, hunters, and nature photographers may wear a ghillie suit to blend into their surroundings and to conceal themselves from enemies or targets. The suit gives the wearer's outline a three-dimensional breakup, rather than a linear one. When manufactured correctly, the suit will move in the wind in the same way as surrounding foliage. Some ghillie suits are made with light and breathable material that allows a person to wear a shirt underneath. This photograph of a wildlife photographer in a ghillie suit, standing and holding a camera, was taken in a forest in the Jura Mountains near Marchissy, Switzerland.Photograph credit: Giles Laurent
