We’re reviewing Episode 21 of Season 2 of the Simpsons, “Three Men and a Comic Book”; Bart raises money to buy a comic, then eventually splits the cost with Martin and Milhouse.
Our guest is artist David Cooper. David is currently on a mission to draw every Simpsons character ever. We discuss his work, why the Simpsons succeeds as a satire of other sitcoms, and how a Humphrey Bogart movie completely changed the way we see the episode’s 3rd act.
