LOS ANGELES (AP) — A ladies' man is bringing his charms to "The Simpsons."

The long-running animated Fox series held a contest to give fans the chance to dream up a new character, and Ricardo Bomba was the winning entry. He's the creation of Peggy Black of Orange, Conn.

Black said she decided that "The Simpsons" was lacking a Casanova and came up with the character nicknamed "La Bomba." He'll make his small-screen debut in the Jan. 31 episode of "The Simpsons."

More than 25,000 entries were received in the contest for the show, which is marking its 20th year on TV.
