A Lot Of Our Writers, Like Conan

'the Simpsons' Was About Children And Married Parents; 'futurama' Is About People In Between; They're Growing Up And Haven't Settled Down. Every Other Cartoon Show Seemed To Be, You Know, Dumb Dad, Bratty Kids.

You Know Boys, A Nuclear Reactor Is A Lot Like Women. You Just Have To Read The Manual And Press The Right Button.

Since I Was There In The Very Beginning, I Know The History Of The Characters. So, I Make Comments About The Tone And Sometimes Remind The Writers That We've Done That Before.

Because Good Writing In A Tv Cartoon Is So Rare, I Think The Animation On The Simpsons Is Often Overlooked.

I Personally Like The Idea Of Newspapers. It's A Good Format. You Can Read It In Whatever Order You Want. You Can Glance At It. There Is Something About A Single Screen And Scrolling Through Pages That Just Doesn't Have The Same Appeal.
