“The Simpsons” is one of the summer’s hot movies, not only from a ticket sales perspective but also from all the collateral marketing in fast food restaurants, on web sites, and in toy stores.
My knowledge of the phenomenon, however, is minimal. I’ve never seen the TV show and haven’t ventured to the movie yet. Knowing how I dislike sitting in a theater with other viewers who usually talk while they watch the screen, I probably won’t go at all.
But I am curious about the illustration at the top of this blog. Apparently, one can go to a web site and create a cartoon character in the style of the Simpson family. My son’s partner, Chris, was kind enough to send this along. If I made a guest appearance in the next movie — I’m betting on a sequel — this is what I’d look like.
Since I haven’t added any new photographs of me to this web site in ages, I’m adding my Simpson character. It’s really not a bad likeness.
