I’ve had this blog for a little while now so why not post some of my Simpsons fan art!

These were both drawn in the last year - I love both the monorail episode and Homer’s mysterious journey a whole lot :]

LINES I QUOTE DAILY | The Simpsons, “El Viaje de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)”

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

The Simpsons are about two parents Homer and Marge (30s), and three kids Bart, Lisa, and Maggie (10, 8, 1). Homer spends most of his free time at a bar. Marge is frequently noted to have no friends. Several episodes resemble this post, including The Mysterious Voyage Of Our Homer and War of the Simpsons.

Unless it is a 1:1 match for a specific episode, I'm going to assume that sometimes people are just the same ages as fictional characters and have unhappy marriages.

When he was seventy-four years old the Cretan novelist Nikos Kazantzakis began a book. He called it Report to Greco... Kazantzakis thought of himself as a soldier reporting to his commanding officer on a mortal mission—his life.

Well, there is only one Report to Greco, but no true book... was ever anything else than a report. ... A true book is a report upon the mystery of existence... it speaks of the world, of our life in the world. Everything we have in the books on which our libraries are founded—Euclid's figures, Leonardo's notes, Newton's explanations, Cervantes' myth, Sappho's broken songs, the vast surge of Homer—everything is a report of one kind or another and the sum of all of them together is our little knowledge of our world and of ourselves. Call a book Das Kapital or The Voyage of the Beagle or Theory of Relativity or Alice in Wonderland or Moby-Dick, it is still what Kazantzakis called his book—it is still a "report" upon the "mystery of things."

But if this is what a book is... then a library is an extraordinary thing.

The existence of a library is, in itself, an assertion. ... It asserts that... all these different and dissimilar reports, these bits and pieces of experience, manuscripts in bottles, messages from long before, from deep within, from miles beyond, belonged together and might, if understood together, spell out the meaning which the mystery implies.

The library, almost alone of the great monuments of civilization, stands taller now than it ever did before. The city... decays. The nation loses its grandeur... The university is not always certain what it is. But the library remains: a silent and enduring affirmation that the great Reports still speak, and not alone but somehow all together.

In season 8's "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)" the Space Coyote was deliberately animated in a fully distinctive style (much "boxier" than any other original character). This was David Silverman's choice, who also animated most of the hallucination sequence himself since he wanted it to be exactly as he had imagined.

a mutual asked me this yesterday since i mentioned ive been watching a ton of simpsons lately so i wanted to ask you too - what are you fav simpsons episodes?:) also whos your fav character(s)?

AHHH my notifications have been flooded recently i didn't see this!!! my favorite episode is the springfield files, but some of my other favorites include hurricane neddy, the mysterious voyage of homer, (... we watched the season 8 DVD a lot), treehouse of horror vi & vii, the president wore pearls, and HOMR. i've been watching the show ever since i was a baby and these episodes in particular have a lot of personal/family significance for me, being ones we watched repeatedly or being my parents' favorites. i'm also particularly fond of the episodes brother from the same planet and a milhouse divided, but i love just about every simpsons episode!

my favorite characters are maggie and mr pinchy. i like the whole rest of simpsons family equally and i usually find moe pretty funny when he's being grumpy and shady but i don't really like most of the serious stories they try with him, it's hard to make it work. who are your favorite characters? :)
