There are secondary plot lines in two of the stories about comics, the comic industry, and the challenges to comics over the years. These jokes will probably go over the heads of younger readers, but they should get enough to find them funny. Inserts between comic Treehouse of Horror: Dead Mans Jest allow Bart time to tell readers how to craft a great haunted house or which candy to avoid. These are funny and add a touch of MAD Magazine to the whole book. Simpsons comics tend to circulate until they fall apart, so libraries will be happy to know that the binding for this oversized graphic novel feels tight and sturdy.

Personally i liked the other one better than this one but to me I love the Simpsons as a fun comedy. They are just so funny and the characters are all fun to watch. Feb 20, Melanie Kay rated it it was amazing. If you like the Simpsons, you'll enjoy this. Also, if you are a fan of the Tales From the Crypt franchise, you'll probably appreciate that many of the comics are formatted similarly to and modeled after the original Tales From the Crypt comics.

ReRead 1 May Previously read; currently playing catch-up. Treehouse of Horror comics are usually pretty fun, but this one-- containing rockstar-centered stories written by rock stars--is especially fun. Alice Cooper, Pat Boone? The writing's not consistent, and I don't know how much each musician contributed to their story's dialogue, but Dead Man's Jest goes to some strange places and I can appreciate that. Plus, the art is re ReRead 1 May Previously read; currently playing catch-up. A lot of times, the Simpsons Comics arts style is slightly off from the original and not-at-all pleasant, but in Treehouse of Horrors--especially this one- -the styles are distinct enough from story to story to stand on their own and not need to mimic the original. Dec 10, Cale rated it it was ok. This was one of the weakest Simpsons collections I've read. The artwork was occasionally inspired, but often just dull. The stories were all over the place, and the ove This was one of the weakest Simpsons collections I've read. The stories were all over the place, and the overall Treehouse of Horror: Dead Mans Jest just didn't work. And there were a few too many rock crossovers here KISS, Alice Cooper that tried but failed to really make themselves worthwhile. Definitely not a classic Simpsons comic collection.

  • Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in the Simpsons
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD Film Studies in the University of Hull by Jemma Diane Gilboy, BFA, BA (Hons) (University of Regina), MScRes (University of Edinburgh) April 2016 Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons by Jemma D. Gilboy University of Hull 201108684 Abstract (Thesis Summary) The objective of this thesis is to establish meme theory as an analytical paradigm within the fields of screen and fan studies. Meme theory is an emerging framework founded upon the broad concept of a “meme”, a unit of culture that, if successful, proliferates among a given group of people. Created as a cultural analogue to genetics, memetics has developed into a cultural theory and, as the concept of memes is increasingly applied to online behaviours and activities, its relevance to the area of media studies materialises. The landscapes of media production and spectatorship are in constant fluctuation in response to rapid technological progress. The internet provides global citizens with unprecedented access to media texts (and their producers), information, and other individuals and collectives who share similar knowledge and interests. The unprecedented speed with (and extent to) which information and media content spread among individuals and communities warrants the consideration of a modern analytical paradigm that can accommodate and keep up with developments. Meme theory fills this gap as it is compatible with existing frameworks and offers researchers a new perspective on the factors driving the popularity and spread (or lack of popular engagement with) a given media text and its audience.

    CONTEMPORARY ANIMATION: THE SIMPSONS TO SOUTH PARK-FILM 4165 (4 Credits) SPRING 2015 Tuesdays 6:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. Social Work 134 Instructor: Steven Pecchia-Bekkum Office Phone: 801-935-9143 E-Mail: [email protected] Office Hours: M-W 3:00 P.M.-5:00 P.M. (FMAB 107C) Course Description: Since it first appeared as a series of short animations on the Tracy Ullman Show (1987), The Simpsons has served as a running commentary on the lives and attitudes of the American people. Its subject matter has touched upon the fabric of American society regarding politics, religion, ethnic identity, disability, sexuality and gender-based issues. Also, this innovative program has delved into the realm of the personal; issues of family, employment, addiction, and death are familiar material found in the program’s narrative. Additionally, The Simpsons has spawned a series of animated programs (South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Rick and Morty etc.) that have also been instrumental in this reflective look on the world in which we live. The abstraction of animation provides a safe emotional distance from these difficult topics and affords these programs a venue to reflect the true nature of modern American society. Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide the intellectual basis for a deeper understanding of The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, and Rick and Morty within the context of the culture that nurtured these animations. The student will, upon successful completion of this course: (1) recognize cultural references within these animations. (2) correlate narratives to the issues about society that are raised.

  • The Id, the Ego and the Superego of the Simpsons
    Hugvísindasvið The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson January 2013 University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson Kt.: 090285-2119 Supervisor: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir January 2013 Abstract The purpose of this essay is to explore three main characters from the popular television series The Simpsons in regards to Sigmund Freud‟s theories in psychoanalytical analysis. This exploration is done because of great interest by the author and the lack of psychoanalytical analysis found connected to The Simpsons television show. The main aim is to show that these three characters, Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson and Ned Flanders, represent Freud‟s three parts of the psyche, the id, the ego and the superego, respectively. Other Freudian terms and ideas are also discussed. Those include: the reality principle, the pleasure principle, anxiety, repression and aggression. For this analysis English translations of Sigmund Freud‟s original texts and other written sources, including psychology textbooks, and a selection of The Simpsons episodes, are used. The character study is split into three chapters, one for each character. The first chapter, which is about Homer Simpson and his controlling id, his oral character, the Oedipus complex and his relationship with his parents, is the longest due to the subchapter on the relationship between him and Marge, the id and the ego. The second chapter is on Marge Simpson, her phobia, anxiety, aggression and repression. In the third and last chapter, Ned Flanders and his superego is studied, mainly through the religious aspect of the character.

SIMPSON El corto titulado “Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office”,1 publicado el 26 de abril de 2017 como parte de la temporada 28 de Los Simpson en el canal Animation Fox en Youtube, cierra con un negro sarcasmo.2 En una serie, en la que por casi tres décadas se han utilizado los matices y las sutilezas indis- pensables para que los episodios, escritos con gran inteligencia por presti- giosos grupos de guionistas irreverentes,3 tengan como característica sobresaliente tres figuras retóricas, la parodia, la ironía y, sobre todo, la sátira, * Directora e investigadora del Centro de Investigaciones sobre América del Norte de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, <[email protected]>. 1 En este artículo utilizaré los títulos de los capítulos y los nombres que se le han dado a los per- sonajes en español en el doblaje para México (donde la serie comenzó a transmitirse en el canal 13 de Imevisión en marzo de 1991, los martes a las 20:30 horas), pero, en su mayoría, las citas textuales de los diálogos se harán en el original en inglés debido a que el doblaje tropicaliza las alusiones y, por tratarse aquí de los partidos y los políticos estadunidenses, es importante que se conserven. En el caso específico de este corto, puesto que no fue exhibido fuera de Estados Unidos y Canadá, y como la wiki en español aún está consignando la temporada 27, el título del mismo se anota en inglés.
