Reading Digest: Museums and Galleries Edition
“Forget it, Marge, there is no way I’m spending my Saturdays at a museum. Unless . . . museums don’t have foosball, do they?” – Homer Simpson This week, we’ve got one link to an actual museum, one link to a Bart painting in an art gallery, and an awesome fan made digital gallery that contains a lot of Simpsons characters. There’s also some excellent usage, an English grammar instructional video, a fan made plaque, and the worst non-Grammy award Zombie Simpsons has ever “won”. Enjoy. Ink and the Bottle, Cartoon Museum, London – Cartoons written by drunks and about…

“Hey, wait, if I don’t finish this last bite, you don’t get my soul, do you?” – Homer Simpson Reader Mauro sends in this fantastic graphic of the rise and fall of The Simpsons: I don’t know Spanish, but with design that good, I don’t need to. I’m especially fond of the final image. All credit goes to Eduardo Salles for making this, and Mauro for sending it in.

“Well, children, our new ultra-hard PostCherfect chairs have arrived. They’ve been designed by eminent posturologists to eliminate slouching by the year 3000.” – Mrs. Krabappel “Mrs. Krabappel, I’m having back spasms.” – Martin Prince “I know they seem a little uncomfortable right now, but eventually your bones will change shape.” – Mrs. Krabappel “I’ve lost all feeling in the left side of my body.” – Milhouse van Houten “Yeah, yeah.” – Mrs. Krabappel

“Dad, don’t you see you’re abusing your power like all vigilantes? I mean, if you’re the police, who will police the police?” – Lisa Simpson “I dunno, Coast Guard?” – Homer Simpson Oh, Joe Mantegna, I wish you were on every commentary. In case you’ve forgotten, in this episode Homer becomes the police force for Springfield and then Fat Tony tries to assassinate him, and then Maggie shots Fat Tony, and then it ends.

Sunday Morning Cartoons
“For your free brochure, send five dollars to Dimoxinil, four-eighty-five Hair Plaza, Hair City, Utah.” – TV Announcer The above is one of those dense, layers thick jokes that most shows can’t pull off even once but that The Simpsons tossed around with abandon. Not only are they demanding payment for a free brochure, they’re doing so from an address that is appropriately stupid for those kinds of woo. That it’s in Utah, one of those weirdo states where fellatio is still illegal, just makes it better. There are more jokes in that one line than there are in entire…

“Well Homer, you seem to be a trencherman, what should we serve?” – Sideshow Bob “Well, you can’t go wrong with cocktail weenies! They taste as good as they look, and they come in this delicious red sauce. It looks like ketchup, it tastes like ketchup, but brother, it ain’t ketchup!” – Homer Simpson
