I, too, liked the “That could be anyone’s ooze!” line from Mr. Burns. Did he show up in the future, at the very end? I didn’t spot him, but I did see (I think) Flanders and Blinky, the 3-eyed fish. And if anybody could live into the future, I’d think it would be Burns. (Remember, he once gave his place of birth as Pangaea.) And it’s always good to see Morbo. ---

My favourite thing was the billboard for _eBook of Mormon_. ---

As a long time Simpsons fan\*, I thought it was good but not as good as Infinitely Secret Crisis. ISC was the comic crossover by Bongo comics. While I don’t think anybody ripped anybody off, there were a lot of elements in common. Professors Frink and Farnsworth bond in both. Lisa proves to play a great holophoner in both. Homer and Bender drink together in both. \*On the day I moved into this apartment (all those years ago), I ordered a pause in moving so we could all watch that year’s Treehouse Of Horror. True story. ---

> [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > My favourite thing was the billboard for _eBook of Mormon_. Yeah, and there was also a ‘Tesla’ Building right next to the Chrysler Building. Maybe I’m over-thinking it but is there some deeper joke there I’m not getting? ---

I thought it was more enjoyable than the Family Guy one, and had some genuine chuckles out of it. Interestingly, I really thought they threw in some nods to the waaaayback “School is Hell” stuff that Matt Groening started with even before Tracy Ullman (at least, it seemed like the rabbit characters). ---

Did the rabbits only have one ear? Too bad there wasn’t an Akbar and Jeff cameo. ---

There was at least one with only one ear. He scribbled graffiti on the wall, I think. ---
