To me, the last good season of the Simpsons was probably back in 1997 or '98. After that, its been kind of hit and miss, and seems to be lacking some of the heart the earlier seasons had. For a long time it seemed like every episode was directed at showing Homer in some kind of physical humor gag or zany adventure, discounting many of the rich supporting characters the show had developed. Thank god that seems to be, for the most part, over.
Still, I tune in every sunday to see what befalls the Simpsons clan this week. Partly out of old habit, and partly to see if this week's episode is any better than the last.
This past week's episode was the annual Treehouse of Horror episode. In the opener, Nelson tells the classic Warner Bros monsters that their outfits are outdated. The monsters respond by dressing up in current halloween trendy costumes. The thing that made me giggle the most was Frankenstein, dressed in a Sponge Bob costume. It looked so absurd. I loved the idea of ol' Frank wandering around on Halloween dressed as Sponge Bob so much, that I decided to throw together the above drawing. All in all a quick drawing, but fun to do something so fresh in my mind, that made me laugh.
