If At First You Don't Succeed -

Sometimes People Get Mad At The Simpsons' Subversive Story Telling, But There's Another Message In There, Which Is A Celebration Of Making Wild, Funny Stories.

Fans Think They Want To See More Than The 10 To 20 Seconds Of Itchy And Scratchy That We Put On The Show, But My Feeling Is Less Is More. Once You've Skinned And Flayed A Cat, Ripped His Head Off, Made Him Drink Acid And Tied His Tongue To The Moon, There Really Isn't That Much To Say.

'adult Swim' On The Cartoon Network Is Unbelievable. And 'south Park' Continues To Do Great Stuff. And 'family Guy' And The Various Other Seth Macfarlane Projects Are Amazing.

One Of The Things I Would Like To Do Is Make Up Stories That I Would Have Enjoyed When I Was A Kid. So, If I'm Thinking About An Audience, It's Usually A Younger Version Of Myself.

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