About The Artwork

Homer: [Gasps] There’s the coffee mug from Heartbeeps! Lisa: And there’s the cane from Citizen Kane! Wait a minute. There was no cane in Citizen Kane. Bart: And there’s that awful script from The Cable Guy. [One of the most underrated movies of all time.] Homer: Lemme see. Stupid script! Nearly wrecked Jim Carrey’s career! Newspaper Tour Guide: And each paper contains a certain percentage of recycled paper. Lisa: What percentage is that? Newspaper Tour Guide: Zero. Zero is a percent, isn't it? 
 Editor: We're looking for a new food critic, someone who doesn't immediately pooh-pooh everything he eats. Homer: Nah, it usually takes a few hours. 
 Ned Flanders: A rude Frenchman? Well, I never!
 
 Izzy: C'Mon. You gonna kill him with a pastry? I've seen this man eat a bowl of change.
 
 [while spying on Homer at the food festival] Captain McCallister: Homer's undone the top button on his pants. Akira: He's been walking around like that since Thanksgiving. Captain McCallister: I'm surprised he doesn't just switch to sweat pants. Akira: He says the crotch wears out too fast. Captain McCallister: [shudders] That'll replace the whale in my nightmares! 
 Homer: If he's so smart, how come he's dead?
 
 Chief Wiggum: Whew - that was close! Thank God it landed in that smoking crater.
 
 Homer: Well here we are kids... the zoo. Bart Simpson: That's great dad, except you were supposed to take us to the newspaper. Homer: DOHH!!! 
 Marge: Only your father could take a part-time job at a small town paper and wind up the target of international assassins.
 
 [Writing a food review] Homer: The bread was really… c’mon, help me out here. Santa's Little Helper: Ruff. Homer: Ruff? I don’t know. You’ve been pitching that one all night. Santa's Little Helper: Chewy? Homer: Chewy! That’s inspired. 
 from ’The Simpsons’ (1989-Forever) S11 E3: “Guess Who’s Coming to Criticize Dinner?” (10/24/99) Starring Granny Goodness (The Mary Tyler Moore Show), Nancy Cartwright (The Professional’s Godzilla), Dan Castellaneta (Maris Returns), Julie Kavner (Tony's Sister and Jim), Hank Azaria (Billy on the Street), Marcia Wallace (Love Un-American Style), Pamela Hayden (Aaahh!!! Real Monsters), Derek Smalls ("We're very lucky, in a sense, that we have two visionaries in the band. David and Nigel, they're both like - like poets, you know, like Shelley and Byron, people like that. They're two totally distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically, you see. I feel my role in the band is to be kind of in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water."), Tress MacNeille (Mom), Maggie Roswell (Pretty in Pink), and Yeardley Smith ("And I’m not a little girl. I’m 20."). Written by Al Jean (Inside The Simpsons Actors Studio). Directed by Nancy Kruse (Encanto). The Simpsons created by James L. Brooks ([I Heart]Rhoda), Sam Simon (Taxi), and Matt Groening (The Tracey Ullman Show). 
 
 "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?" is the third episode of the eleventh season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 24, 1999. In the episode, Homer becomes a food critic for a Springfield newspaper and ends up annoying the restaurant owners of Springfield after he makes negative reviews just to be mean, advice he took from fellow critics. Springfield's restaurant owners then attempt to kill Homer by feeding him a poisoned éclair. American actor Ed Asner guest starred in the episode as the newspaper editor that hires Homer. The episode has received generally mixed to positive reviews from television critics since airing. 
 Production: "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?" was written by Al Jean and directed by Nancy Kruse as part of the eleventh season of The Simpsons (1999–2000). American actor Ed Asner guest starred in the episode as the newspaper editor that hires Homer. The character is based on Lou Grant, the character Asner played in the series The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Lou Grant. Both shows were created by Simpsons co-producer James L. Brooks.[2][3] The song Homer sings upon being given the food critic job is set to the tune of "I Feel Pretty" from the musical West Side Story. The restaurant Planet Springfield is a parody of Planet Hollywood, containing items such as the film script for The Cable Guy (1996), Herbie from The Love Bug (1968), a model of the RMS Titanic from Titanic (1997), an alien similar to those from Mars Attacks! (1996), models of a TIE fighter, an X-wing fighter and C-3PO from the Star Wars saga, as well as "the coffee mug" from the film Heartbeeps (1981) and "the cane" from Citizen Kane (1941), which is not a real prop.
 
 
 The Simpsons is an American adult animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series is a satirical depiction of American life, epitomized by the Simpson family, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show is set in the fictional town of Springfield and parodies American culture and society, television, and the human condition. The family was conceived by Groening shortly before a solicitation for a series of animated shorts with producer James L. Brooks. He created a dysfunctional family and named the characters after his own family members, substituting Bart for his own name; he thought Simpson was a funny name in that it sounded similar to "simpleton". The shorts became a part of The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. After three seasons, the sketch was developed into a half-hour prime time show and became Fox's first series to land in the Top 30 ratings in a season (1989–1990). Since its debut on December 17, 1989, 717 episodes of the show have been broadcast. It is the longest-running American animated series, longest-running American sitcom, and the longest-running American scripted primetime television series, both in terms of seasons and number of episodes. A feature-length film, The Simpsons Movie, was released in theaters worldwide on July 27, 2007, and grossed over $527 million, with a sequel in development as of 2018. The series has also spawned numerous comic book series, video games, books, and other related media, as well as a billion-dollar merchandising industry. The Simpsons is a joint production by Gracie Filmsand 20th Television. On March 3, 2021, the series was announced to have been renewed for seasons 33 and 34, which were later confirmed to have 22 episodes each, increasing the episode count from 706 to 750. Its thirty-third season premiered on September 26, 2021. The Simpsons received acclaim throughout its early seasons in the 1990s, which are generally considered its "golden age". Since then, it has been criticized for a perceived decline in quality. Time named it the 20th century's best television series, and Erik Adams of The A.V. Club named it "television's crowning achievement regardless of format". On January 14, 2000, the Simpson family was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It has won dozens of awards since it debuted as a series, including 34 Primetime Emmy Awards, 34 Annie Awards, and 2 Peabody Awards. Homer's exclamatory catchphrase of "D'oh!" has been adopted into the English language, while The Simpsons has influenced many other later adult-oriented animated sitcoms.

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
