Oh Dark Horse. So much good product, and nobody cares.

Apparently I have tickets to American Pastoral at the DC E-Street Cinema too.

Anybody want these tickets I have to The Edge of Seventeen in Silver Spring tonight? Free to a good home.

Why kill him as a baby? Why not sometime around 1920, when he's not yet in power but has reached the point where Germany lost WW1 and he's now pissed at the Jews? I'm not ok with these hypothetical assassinations of people who haven't done anything yet, but post-1918 seems like a "better" time to kill him.

With Emma Stone as Michelle Obama.

Slight deviation: the THOH written by Mark Hamill was brilliant, but not horror-related. At least, not really.

No, I don't think it ever did it. But the comic literally has Skinner being like "Let me call my cousin in the F.B.I." And it's like, "HOW DID THAT NOT COME UP ON THE SPRINGFIELD FILES?!?!"

(Enter Herschel, scene left)

Well, I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't know.

Also, the one where Bart becomes a jockey.

Well, you see, anytime you see something like that, a wizard did it.

The one where it turns out Skinner isn't really Skinner is pretty good.

Remember, many other lousy shows were on other networks. Remember the tombstones on the early TOH episodes?

Sure, I'm flattered. Maybe even a little curious. But the answer is no!

I think they were being openly ridiculous at that point.

Oh, geeze, are you hitting on me? We already went through that in the comic strip thread this morning.

Somehow I can't see the comics lasting without the show. Pity, really. It's like an athlete keeping a much older, weaker person alive so his organs can be harvested.

You win this round, Core Concept.

Stuff in this year's Treehouse of Horror comic:

…that's a new euphemism.
