Talk:Homer Simpson vs Shrek/@comment-35340421-20180802040509/@comment-5035900-20180802052505

Homer's still human despite being a cartoon character. He may possess a thicker skull than the average human and can take close-range cannonballs to his stomach, but if prolonged, he actually can be killed, which has led to his family and friends stepping in to prevent it.

Homer from Treehouse of Horror? It's basically a What-If? that throws out the rules and physics of the mostly realistic Simpsons world entirely in favor of doing whatever with the premise.
