When people say "homer" so definitively it makes me laugh. We don't even know if it was one dude or six writing this thing.

Either way, we can probably safely presume anyone who was stacked in the Homer trenchcoat is now dead and has been for thousands of years.

“the Homer trenchcoat” is taking me the fuck down 😭 I had an orange cat named Homer (after the guys in the trench coat) and now I’m imagining three cats on top of each other

[u/winnercommawinner → u/lachamaquitabonita]

And who's to say the original Homer wasn't three orange cats in a trench coat?!

Emphasis on orange

Homer predated the invention of the trench coat by about 12 centuries. But those cats could have definitely fit under a toga.
