Zombie Simpsons Scenarios: Season 24 and Beyond
“I want to get off.” – Bart Simpson “You can’t get off, we have five more continents to visit.” – Selma Bouvier Between Comic-Con and the fact that FOX opened up the animation department to a bunch of reporters a couple of weeks ago, there has been a flurry of news-ish reports in my inbox of late. Most of these are fluff and contain nothing in the way of real news for the already plugged-in Simpsons fan. However, a few interesting tidbits did slip out, and it’s worth taking a look at the available production, calendar and contract information to…
