Wes went on to direct many of The Simpsons episodes later when it debuted in prime time. He was also a Supervising Director for King of the Hill and currently is a Director for Futurama. This is an original painting on stretched canvas. This piece measures 24x30 and is signed by Wes Archer.

So many women so little time. Is Bart's latest love interest a member of Springfield's elite? Reese Witherspoon and Wolfgang Puck guest star on an all-new Simpsons.
The object of their affection---and altercation---is Greta Wolfcastle (Witherspoon), the daughter of action-film star Rainier Wolfcastle (Puck). After Bart and his slingshot rescue her backpack from bullies, Greta is immediately smitten. But her crush is unrequited, and the oblivious Bart blows off a date with her in order to harass Principal Skinner at his stand-up comedy debut. Clued to Greta's feelings, Bart breaks off the relationship---until Milhouse steps in. It's only then, in the name of love, that Bart asks his parents' help to win Greta back by following her to her dad's film set...in Toronto, Canada.

That's right, it's Matt Greoning's Birthday. Born on February 15th, Matt Groening grew up in Portland Oregon. Groening began his doodling career at an early age - in fact, it was the first day of school. While Groening admits his drawings were never perfect, he never gave up on his labour of love... thank goodness or else what would we do without our beloved Simpsons family. Thanks Matt! and Happy Birthday from all of us at Simpson Crazy.A little more info on Matt can be found by Clicking Here.

Hey Simpsons Collectors, huge amount of news coming to you from the floor of the 2002 Toy Fair. We've already displayed to you some of the great items soon to be released this year and that was only the tip of the iceberg. We've got a huge list of more products, so big that you need to click on the picture below to see the list. Click Below and have fun looking at what you're going to buy this year from such companies as Rix, Playmates, Rocket USA and Cardinal Toys.
Hey fellow collectors, even more cool stuff to see from the show floor of the Toy Fair 2002. First off we have the already known Krusty-in-the-Box and right next to it is a new prototype which will be Homer-in-a-Box. Some may remember this from the Simpsons Halloween Episode where Bart turns Homer into a Jack in the Box. 
Next up we have pictures of the full line of upcoming Klickers and a release which we here can't wait to get.. the pewter version of Simpsons chess. This is truly an extraordinary set and will probably be much more expensive than the original plastic Simpsons chess set on the market. If any more news comes out, we'll be sure to inform you.
Hey Simpson Fans and collectors. Lots of news from the Toy Fair 2002 being held in New York City this week. The first image you see is the exclusive clicker being given out by the people at Rocket USA. Let's see what other items the people at Rocket USA have on display. First off we have the Tin Motion toys... 
Be aware these are only prototypes and may be changed around completely by time of final release. The next thing Rocket USA presented was Krusty Punching Doll...
This has to be one of the best upcoming Krusty items we've seen aside from the Krusty-in-the-Box which is also to be released by Rocket USA. Next we have a little preview from Playmates toys. As mentioned before there was a rumor of a new WoS vehicle released which is the school bus...
This is a great addition to the WoS sets we think. By the picture you can see it includes Otto on the drivers seat and what looks like Bart and Milhouse in the bus. We do hope that Playmates will add more characters in the bus by the final release. Stay tuned for more previews from Toy Fair later this week.
In this weeks episode, "Half Decent Proposal", an older and richer Artie Ziff returns to Springfield and is willing to give the Simpsons one million dollars for a weekend alone with Marge. You may remember Artie from the High School Prom episode where he is Marge's date but she ends up dumping him when he get a little "fiesty" with her in the car. Artie is played by John Lovitz who may be best remembered as Jay Sherman in "The Critic".
Hey everyone, got these pics of the boxed and final version of the Series 1 WoS Celebrities. 
By looking at the back of the Celeb pack one can see the to be released Celebs. We can't wait to get Krusty's dad, the Rabbi who was done by Jackie Mason ( great comic! )
