Eric, we hardly knew ye . . . A great, one of a kind talent, unbelievably gone way to soon. Eric Bauza @bauzilla and I just met on Saturday at an ASIFA panel for Lightbox Expo, and spent the morning hilariously getting acquainted, topping it off with this photo. The shock everyone feels is tremendous. An incredible, witty, and versatile performer, truly another Mel Blanc. And absolutely the nicest of people you could ever meet. He leaves an enormous crater in all our hearts and in the many projects that depended on his vocal talents. A sad so long to this very great man.

After directing 2 theatrical shorts and over 10 Simpsons shorts, this will be the first episode I've done since 2013. Also - my 6th Halloween episode. (6 and 1/3, including The Raven in THoH I.) Airing this Saturday Oct., 25, 2026 - and it starts off with a great intro from our great friends at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. (Currently online!!)

I know I have posted this before - well, here it is again. This was to be the last image of The Simpsons Christmas Special, a photo freeze akin to the Simpsons Short "Family Portrait" (aired 3/6/88, MG25). I include that image here to compare. However - it was decided NOT to use that as the ending. And - however again - it WAS decided to use the Family Portrait version for the publicity ad in the TV Guide. Go - - figure - - !

Many of you knew that yesterday was the 36th anniversary of the airing of The Simpsons Christmas Special. But - Did You Know - that today is the 37th anniversary of Simpson Xmas? Airing on The Tracey Ullman Show on Dec 18, 1988 - almost to day a year earlier than the Special. This short (animated by Wes Archer @rcher_arts and myself & ofc written by Matt Groening) features Bart narrating a parody of Twas the Night Before Christmas. At the time I don’t think any of us imagined what would happen a year later. Here is a cel step up, clean drawing of the kids running, and a rough for the lighting on Bart. This is labeled production number MG40. We did 8 more shorts following this one.

36 years ago? Well - seems that's how the math adds up. Ok so it was Dec. 17, 1989 that the very first Simpsons episode aired, what became The Simpsons Christmas Special (aka "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire") although it was originally 7G08, to be the eighth episode of the first season. Written by Mimi Ponds and directed by yours truly, it was in fact the 3rd ep I had directed by then. But - it all worked out, right? Just as the fates allowed . . .
