Behind Us Forever: Pulpit Friction
“Hey, look, those frogs are eating all their crops!” – Homer Simpson Marge has to yell in church to get everyone to sit down, and meanwhile Lovejoy was just standing at the pulpit waiting patiently? I know they don’t care about this stuff, but it really destroys scenes. And the new guy is also just standing there before he starts describing Lovejoy for no reason.

Reading Digest: Yet More Foreign Art Edition
“Bart, I’m sorry I’m going to miss your public humiliation, but the Wolumbaloo Dirt Monument is just too exciting to pass up!” – Lisa Simpson This week we’ve got two art items from the Southern Hemisphere, an Australian art show and some excellent Argentine graffiti. There’s also a ton of usage, a good example of how not to invoke Sideshow Bob, and absolutely nothing about upcoming guest voices or episodes from Season 24.

There’s charity and Simpsons bitching, and the greatest waste of perfectly good beer since…
