Tags: Dancing, Gun, LoveWe've been running a little behind schedule. But only by about 15 years or so.
Tags: Behind, Running, ScheduleWe've got a bunch of new writers now who tell me they grew up watching The Simpsons. It's bizarre, and they're writing some very funny stuff.
Tags: Funny, Tell, WritingWell, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget.
Tags: Forget, KidWhen the authorities warn you of the dangers of having sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities.
Tags: Learned, Lesson, SexOur solution on 'The Simpsons' is to do jokes that people who have an education, or some frame of reference, can get. And for the ones who don't, it doesn't matter, because we have Homer banging his head and saying, 'D'oh!'
Tags: Education, Matter, SayingA lot of people believe that if everybody just did what they were told - obeyed - everything would be fine. But that's not what life is all about. That's not real. It's never going to happen.
Tags: Happen, Life, RealI draw a weekly comic strip called Life in Hell, which is syndicated in about 250 newspapers. That's what I did before The Simpsons, and what I plan to do for the rest of my life.
Tags: Hell, Life, PlanI love the idea that we put in jokes the kids don't get. And that later, when they grow up and read a few books and go to college and watch the show again, they can get it on a completely different level.
Tags: Again, Love, PutI think 'Family Guy' and 'American Dad' have definitely staked out their own style and territory, and now the accusations are coming that 'The Simpsons' is taking jokes from 'Family Guy.' And I can tell you, that ain't the case.
Tags: Dad, Family, TellI've loved science fiction ever since I was a little kid, mainly from looking at the covers of science-fiction magazines and books, and I've read quite extensively as an adult.
Tags: Looking, Loved, ScienceOne of the things I would like to do is make up stories that I would have enjoyed when I was a kid. So, if I'm thinking about an audience, it's usually a younger version of myself.
Tags: Audience, Kid, ThinkingSince I was there in the very beginning, I know the history of the characters. So, I make comments about the tone and sometimes remind the writers that we've done that before.
Tags: Done, History, SometimesSometimes people get mad at The Simpsons' subversive story telling, but there's another message in there, which is a celebration of making wild, funny stories.
Tags: Another, Funny, SometimesThe thing that makes me happiest about Simpsons Illustrated are all the drawings that we get from readers. I wish we could print them all. They're really imaginative. They show a lot of hard work.
Tags: Hard, Wish, WorkThe writers led by Mike Scully are fantastic. And they're creating original stories that not only don't repeat what we've already done, they also don't repeat anything I've seen on television.
