What If I Want a Drawing of Part of Marge’s Arm?
“This? This is a Snagglepuss drawn by Hic Heisler, it is worth something. This? This is an arm drawn by nobody. It is worth nothing.” – Comic Book Guy I come across a fair number of weird Simpsons stuff on eBay but until this week I had never come across an actual production animation cel from the show. In fact, I found the concept so ludicrous that I titled a whole post after it just last Saturday. But this week I found two. The sale for the first has ended, and it’s a good thing too because some yutz bought…
Itchy & Scratchy Animation Cel
“Troy, I’m proud to offer your viewers these hand drawn “Itchy & Scratchy” animation cells. Each one is absolutely, positively, 100% guaranteed to increase in value.” – Roger Myers Jr. “Not a guarantee.” – Disclaimer Announcer The image above can be yours for the low price of $850. It’s a hand drawn sketch of Bart and Lisa by Matt Groening: It is a souvenir drawing, typical of one that Matt would do on the quick for a fan or VIP. Signed by the creator and artist. Paper shows slight handling, but in fine condition. Accompanied by provenance and certificate of…

Fun With Photoshop
“And then our kids, they’ll be horrible freaks with pink skin, no overbites and five fingers on each hand!” – Homer Simpson A guy in Australia who’s starting a graphic design business created photoshop images of Hollywood actors as Simpsons characters as a publicity stunt. You can see the full range of characters at his site. Some of his casting choices are a bit odd, George Clooney as Homer strikes me as particularly inapt. Other’s are inspired though, Johnny Depp as Otto and Steve Buscemi as Moe are both great choices, but William H Macy as Flanders is definitely the…
Wait, Orchestra Conductors Actually Do Something?
“Please Krusty, this is very demeaning.” – Sideshow Mel “Shut up and conduct!” – Krusty the Klown The BBC had a game show on last year called “Maestro” where various British celebrities (none of whom this Yank recognized) competed to learn how to conduct an orchestra, with the winner getting to conduct the BBC Orchestra live in Hyde Park. In the first round the eventual winner, Sue Perkins, conducted the Simpsons theme. YouTube, would you do the honors? It’s a little bit different than the version to which we’re all accustomed, but I like it. (You can click here…

“Where’s Grandpa? Wasn’t he invited?” – Lisa Simpson “Yeah, but his reply envelope just had a check to the gas company in it.” – Bart Simpson
Simpsonized Simpsons
“If he marries your mother, Marge, we’ll be brother and sister! And then, our kids, they’ll be horrible freaks with pink skin, no overbites and five fingers on each hand!” – Homer Simpson That Simpsonizer website is the best thing real fans got out of that mostly crappy movie; I hope they never take it down. And so, for no reason whatsoever, I put images of the Simpsons themselves into the Simpsonizer. Presented without further comment.
