I'm Presently Incarcerated. Convicted Of A Crime

As Astute Followers Of 'life In Hell' Will Notice, Akbar And Jeff Wear The Same Striped T-shirt As Charlie Brown. 'peanuts' Was Very Important To Me.

Back In High School, I Wrote A Novel About A Character Named Bart Simpson. I Thought It Was A Very Unusual Name For A Kid At The Time. I Had This Idea Of An Angry Father Yelling "bart," And Bart Sounds Kind Of Like Bark - Like A Barking Dog.

I Also Found Child's Play - Stuff That Was Not Considered Serious, But Goofy - Was The Stuff I Liked To Do, So I Still Do It As An Adult.

I Didn't Lie, I Was Writing Fiction With My Mouth.

The Simpsons And Futurama Are Such Big Projects, Going On For Years And Working In Different Media, That Everything Involved With Them, Promotion And Merchandise And Online Presence And All The Rest, Deserve To Be Scrutinized, So That's Part Of It. I Have A Great Deal Of Sympathy For Anyone At The Core Of A Multimedia Juggernaut, Even If You Might Not Care For The Specific Pop-culture Invasion Of Your Brain. The People Who Do It Work Really Hard.
