Simpsons matriarch Marge Simpson is gracing the cover of Playboy magazine, becoming the first cartoon character in the publication's history.

辛普森女家长Marge Simpson登上《花花公子》封面，这是该杂志发行史上第一次使用卡通人物做封面。

Playboy owner Hugh Hefner appeared in an episode of The Simpsons

The November issue sees Marge posing on a chair with the distinctive¹（有特色的，出众的） Playboy Bunny logo.

It marks the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, viewed as America's most dysfunctional（官能不良） family.

The move to put Marge on the cover is an attempt to draw in a younger audience for the soft porn（软色情） magazine.

"We knew that this would really appeal to the 20-something crowd," said Playboy spokeswoman Theresa Hennessey.

It is not yet known how much of Marge will be on show inside the issue, but "it's very, very racy（活泼的，生动的）," said editorial director James Jellinek.

He added: "She is a stunning² example of the cartoon form."

The edition goes on sale in the US on 16 October, but subscribers to the magazine will find their copies have a more traditional live model on the cover.

Playboy owner Hugh Hefner is said to be a huge Simpsons fan and appeared in an episode in the early 1990s.
