Growing the beard.

Obviously, the producers of "The Simpsons" don't employ pandas and unicorns, but if ever there was a case of the lie that told a truth...

    I heard the animation conditions are good..the product factories on the other hand... Did you ever like the show before?

    South Korean animators make good money. I know that.

    It's not about whether I like the Simpsons, or not. I don't really have strong opinions about entertainment, except to note that even the best shows are produced and broadcast in order to showcase commercials which sell soap, diapers and pharmaceuticals to people who might not be bothered to care about brand, otherwise.

    Credit for what? The Simpsons episode, or for the sentence I wrote as minimalist commentary?

    the character from yale seems borrowed from the staff and/or guests of 'progressive reports now.'

    Ahah. Stock in trade characterizations have some merit, I think, because they model actual types of persons.

    It's not difficult to stumble across common usages, because people sort of filter into common types.

    I got no coin in this, though it does seem Groening has been watching PRN cartoons.

    Fucker imitates Amber Milgram for the Yalie wench.
