Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson: how alike (or different) are they?

If you’ve watched Family Guy or the Simpsons for any length of time, you’ll notice some pretty glaring similarities. Let’s list a few:

They’re both, uh, “big-boned.”
They both have long-suffering wives who for some reason put up with all their stuff.
Each man has three kids.
Both men have issues with their fathers.
They’ve both had a ton of very odd jobs.
Both are heavy drinkers.
Both count watching TV as their favorite thing to do.
Both have small attention spans and think of other things when their wives are talking to them.
Homer and Peter both had strokes; Peter from eating thirty hamburgers at once, Homer from eating a giant feast including a turkey.

I know there are a lot more similarities; can you think of any others?

They both treat their daughters less than ideal. Peter is downright rude and abusive, while Homer tends to just ignore Lisa and her interests.
