Kids worshipping ghosts, pretending to be devils, things on TV that are completely inappropriate for younger viewers, things like the following half-hour.

Thanks for your attention.” – Marge Simpson As you’d expect, we’ve got lots of great Halloween links this week, including multiple…

Reading Digest: Groening Appreciation Edition
“The Simpsons began as the brain child of cartoonist Matt Groening, the already famous creator of such comics as Damnation, Johnny Reb, and True Murder Stories.” – Troy McClure This week we’ve got three links to articles about Groening, two of which are tied for Smooth Charlie’s Link of the Week. First there’s an old magazine article that’s a really nice time capsule of Groening perched on the cusp of worldwide fame, and then there’s a bunch of other cartoonists celebrating the rich bastard he became. In addition to that we’ve got some cool fan made art, some evidence that…

Plus this one has a Bob…
