Somehow, I never pictured Alan Moore and The Simpsons together. Peanut butter and chocolate? Or peanut butter and spaghetti sauce? Time will tell. But I'll be watching.

Yeah, I can't see him wanting to associate with the show given downward turn the show has taken in the past couple of years. Futurama yes, Simpsons, no.

He'll get pissed off at how he's portrayed, say he doesn't want his salary, and boycott ever working with Fox again...

Kinda off topic, but since you mentioned Futurama, anyone know when it's switching to comedy central and when the new episodes are premiering??

as for futurama... its debut will be huge (I predict) its been such a long time, and people remember the whole Family guy fiasco... if Comedy Central has $.10 to promote the new Futurama show's... they'll make sure EVERYBODY knows when it'll start.

Mmm.... I wonder if he will be signing copies of Lost Girls.
