vovatFor the most part, the Simpsons episode last night was pretty good. Moe was both amusing and sympathetic throughout the show. I didn't care much for the ending, though. It seemed sort of like the writers said, "We're almost out of time, and we can't leave Moe dating this girl, so let's just break them up really abruptly." Also, was the subplot with Marge using the surveillance software really necessary? It's not like anything really came of it. By the way, I wonder if the leader of those bully babies was another one of Kearney's kids. I think it pretty obvious that he was supposed to be related to Kearney in some way.
No other new cartoons last night, but I do feel I should mention that I recently finished reading Peter Pan. I believe that Barrie first wrote the story as a play, and the book actually seems rather self-annotated, expanding upon ideas that he couldn't fully get across in dialogue, and making an effort to explain Peter and Captain Hook's thought processes. One thing that I might have heard before, but that I didn't really think much about before, is how Peter is essentially an updated version of the god Pan, represented as a perpetual human child instead of a goat-like deity.
Finally, this ad keeps coming up on my LJ page, and I have to wonder if I'm the only one who thinks this girl looks a bit like Polychrome. It's probably at least partially because the black semicircle at the top (which isn't actually supposed to be part of the picture) reminds me of the skullcap that Neill drew Polychrome as wearing.
