Mr. Empty Pants - Name of cartoon character created by Peg Bundy (Katey Sagal) on the sitcom MARRIED...WITH CHILDREN/FOX/1987-97. After Peg pick-pocketed her husband's wallet, Al chastised her and said "Never leave me with empty pants again." The expression inspired the name of cartoon character which Peg developed into a comic feature for Modern Gal magazine featuring "a hapless loser" of a man (actually her husband, Al). The name Mr. Empty Pants was a sexual put-down for Al's lack of manhood. After Playgirl magazine wanted Al as a centerfold (with bikini-clad babes), a jealous Peggy killed off Mr. Empty Pants saying. "I couldn't handle your happiness, so I killed you (Crushed by a meteorite shaped like a lady's shoe). "Did I suffer?" asked Al? "Sure!" quipped Peggy.
