  • George Meyer, right before he started working on The Simpsons in 1990, published a zine called Army Man. Several its writers became core Simspons writers, and it was the first place to publish Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts. The link above contains several quotes; here's an image of an actual page. (1) #

  • Egads! Godfrey Reggio, Philip Glass, and Ron Fricke -- i.e., the team behind the amazing Koyaanisqatsi -- are working on a new project: Savage Eden. I can't really figure out what it's about. Update: An interview with Reggio and Glass says it's about "consumerism and fundamentalism" and will be the first Reggio film to use actors. Update 2: And how could I miss this? The fourth collaborator is George Meyer, the most involved Simpsons writer and producer out there. This only makes it stranger. (4) #
