Gaaaaaah…Homer is terrifying. Mario looks pretty awesome, though. ---

[Another take on the real Homer](http://www.timeout.com/newyork/articles/features/9343/hi-diddly-ho-neig-hbor-inos), and the rest of the family, from Time Out New York.

[QUOTE=Captain Amazing] Why do half of the characters have rictus? [/QUOTE] Ha! There are some distracting anime-ish details (Krusty looks like the Joker, Apu is wearing pounds of eyeshadow, a few of the cheeks are strange), but I still like that picture. Homer, Flanders, Burns and Smithers are very well done. And you know, in that style, Bart and Lisa’s hair actually makes sense. ---
