This captures one of my favorite - and totally underrated (I mean, we only did it this once in season 7?) - aspects of Simpsons family relationships... The fact that Bart thinks Homer is truly funny. I love that.

This line is based on a kid I knew who got on schoolbus every morning with a piece of toast with Vaseline on it. And ate it. Apparently inventor of Vaseline recommended eating this in 1870s. Maybe he was just trying to move unsold Vaseline And now you know the rest of the story

On the 27th anniversary of "A Milhouse Divided" here's two pages from the 1st draft's extra-long Dignity scene with a lot of background about Kirk at the cracker factory that we had to cut for time:

@theGregJohnson @SimpsonsAlbums No, Bart genuinely thinks his dad is funny. It's a sweet aspect of their relationship. I remember discussing this ever so briefly when these lines were pitched and everyone liking this little corner of their relationship.

We originally wanted Bob Dylan to be the coyote. Dylan woulda been great but we'd asked him before (for Homerpalooza) and he turned us down For Homerpalooza, we got Peter Frampton instead and he was one of THE best guests ever And Johnny Cash? Best. Mystical. Space Coyote. Ever

The "here come the pretzels" scene was written by the room in one amazing short burst of hilarity. Those are times when someone pitches such a funny line it inspires everyone to be their funniest and you savor those moments like a fine pretzel Makes you appreciate writers rooms!

It's the 29th anniversary of "Sideshow Bob Roberts" Here's a different version of Grampa's interminable alphabet anecdote, from the Table Draft of 3/31/94 (And yes, this is from Dan Castellaneta's script that he used during the read!)

@RexChapman As one of the co-authors of this joke, I'd love to take credit as a time-travelling wizard but the sad truth is just that Ted Cruz is such a cartoonish politician, he acted this out for all of us in real life.

We made "Homerpalooza" when we were just under 30 and "with it" but NOW I'm almost 20 years older than Homer's supposed to be and they changed what's "it" and now what I'm with isn't "it" and what's "it" is weird and scary to me. 🫵 It'll happen to you! 🫵

I realized 3 things today: 1) No matter what I tweet, someone will respond with a Simpsons reference 2) I've been coasting along way too easily on something I did 20 years ago 3) I'd like to keep that going so don't stop. I'm desperate here

The world sucks right now. Have these happy drawings of Homer from a very early Simpsons style guide. (Done for the episode "Blood Feud" and forever after a great model for Homer acting)

@_AlexHirsch But "Gravity Falls" was already on Disney. It's only ever been on Disney. I'm confused!

Hey, kids! (BIG KRUSTY LAUGH) It's the 26th anniversary of the Poochie episode! (BIG KRUSTY GROAN) Here are 3 pages from David Cohen's hilarious outline we had to cut for time and also we thought Lenny probably shouldn't leave Springfield to play for the NY Yankees. It begins…

I know it's impossible, but wouldn't it be cool to see an entire episode done like this - "A Milhouse Embroidered"

And no, there were never any Mabel-related lines before or after "So anyway, I says to Mabel, I says..." It was perfect.

@TurquoiseStar17 Whoaaaaaaa! I never noticed that! I think that's just a mistake no one ever caught. There have never been any big plans for Larry, sadly for Larry. Definitely never talk of a Larry twin. Great catch!👍

"Smithers, have those rabble-rousing, insubordinate, fanatical, brickbat tossing, contumacious agitators dealt with, immediately!" "So toot the horn politely as we drive by?" "Er, yes."

A nice example of how a good writers room can work: I pitched the name "Stoner's Pot Palace". That's pretty stupid but no one shot it down. Instead, someone else (don't remember who) pitched Otto's line "Man, that is flagrant false advertising" and suddenly it's a good joke.
