Springfield’s Finest

In late 2023, graphic designer “Princess_Prompt” threw The Simpsons characters into an AI image generator to see  how well it responded to text prompts:

“I wanted to imagine what a live action series of The Simpsons could look like in the flesh in an ’80s style, the era of their birth. As a fan of The Simpsons and Matt Groening’s work since childhood, I found them to be the ideal subject for experimentation.”

[Story here, images found here, more characters and a brief interview here, and Princess_Prompt’s explanations on Reddit here.]


Update: Someone made a trailer!

Too stupid not to share.
Slow to load; worth it for the lulz.

How to draw The Simpsons by a Simpsons Artist.

In Ten Words is a nice theme blog. Ten words max per post.

What kind of man follows Tacky Raccoons? Dan dances with dogs, but also shreds the blues.

Attack Waaaaatch!  Can you imagine the msm outcry if any GOP candidate put up a website like that? The whole Big Brother concept of “Attack Watch” is so ill-conceived and smarmy, I’m stunned that Obama’s reelection campaign staff would even consider such a bone headed stunt. Regardless of your own political affiliation, you’ve got to admit that the video is funny.

Our cat just hacked up a fur ball, and dissed the President:
“Brak. Braaak. Barrrraaack!” I’m gonna snitch.

Saturday Matinee – Simpsons in Estonia, How to Make Candy Canes, Sleigh Ride, Darlene Love with the E Street Band


Another Simpsons opening scene re-enactment, from ESTONIA!

How candy canes are made.  Very cool. [Found here].

Bunky just can’t get into the Christmas Spirit until he hears the Ronettes’ version of  “Sleigh Ride.”

Unfortunately, the best vids of that song have been pulled, and we just can’t bring ourselves to post a video of a vinyl record spinning on a turntable, or worse, a picture of an album cover (losers).  BUT, we’re certainly willing to post THIS version. Screw the copyright Scrooges.

So here’s a compromise, a Christmas song with Darlene Love, backed by the E-Street Band (with video splices from, um, “Home Alone“).

Granny Annie

Granny Annie0001

That’s Granny Annie, a retired volunteer schoolyard monitor who sends elementary school children to Purgatory for wearing socks with colors that haven’t been approved by the school magistrate.

That was a last minute request from Mrs. Strutts to submit a response to this contest:

Saturday Bonus: Tacky Raccoon, Sticky Blonde, and BART


Raccoon enters through pet door. Scopes out the kitchen.
Will he go for the cat food? Nah.
Will he go for the dog food? Nope.
This one knows exactly what he wants and knows how to get it.

She’s obviously tech support for Microsoft. (To be honest, I’d prolly be doing the same thing if I hadda work in a cubicle like that.)
