Marge Simpson on the cover of Playboy

Marge Simpson -- the blue beehived matriarch of America's most loved dysfunctional family - is Playboy magazine's November 2009 cover.

Yes, you read that right surfacing soon will be some incredible Marge Simpson Playboy Pics!

Lucky viewers will be able to see on screen wife of Homer gracing the special November collectors edition of the world-famous Playboy magazine. Eager eyes and hands can grab a hold of these from newsstands, playboy stores or online as a download.

This will be the first time in history that a cartoon has graced the front cover of such a magazine. Many people would have guessed a character like Betty Boop may have won the honour that she was pipped to the post by our favourite on-screen cartoon wife, Marge.

Playboy said the cover and a three-page picture spread inside was a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the "The Simpsons" and part of a plan to appeal to a younger generation of readers.

Scott Flanders, the recently-hired chief executive of Playboy Enterprises, told the Chicago Sun-Times in an interview that the Marge Simpson cover and centrefold was "somewhat tongue-in-cheek."

"It had never been done, and we thought it would be kind of hip, cool and unusual," Flanders told the newspaper. He said the magazine hoped to attract readers in their 20s compared to the average Playboy reader's age of 35.

Playboy also promises a story inside called "The Devil in Marge Simpson". The issue arrives on newsstands on October 16.

Playboy magazine's circulation has slipped in recent years in the face of competition from the Internet, which offers free and plentiful pictures of naked women online.

The magazine's circulation fell 9 percent as of the end of June 2009, according to figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

But Flanders said earlier this week that there were no plans to close the print edition. "Over my dead body will we quit producing the magazine in print," he said.

Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie have already been honoured this year with a set of U.S. postal stamps marking the 20th anniversary of the longest-running comedy series on U.S. television.

Animated series "The Simpsons" debuted in December 1989 with a Christmas-themed episode called "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire." It has won 24 primetime Emmys and was renewed by Fox television earlier this year for two more seasons.
