Description
This is at least one of a couple of Halloween treats for all you good kids out there. I saw the Treehouse of Horror episode on DVR when I got back from Ohio the other night, and I went nuts over the Simpson kids in cloven hooves. Wasn't that a wild episode? I just wanted to see what Marge might have looked like with them. And notice her ultra-stylish keychain. I was originally going to have her holding a broom with a small pitchfork at the top, but this developed when the picture was still in its pencil phase. I also struggled with a title, originally thinking of calling it, "The Devil Made Me Do It." I'm proud to say that this is all Copic marker, with just a little fudging on the pumpkin logo.The Simpsons are the property of Matt Groening. Happy Halloween, Matt...

a superb Halloween image. Marge looks awesomely daemonic, poor Homer.

Nice pic, and just in time for Halloween!
Marge looks suitably demonic here. I like how her blood red nail polish and pearls match her soul piercing pupils. Homer is probably right to look so worried. ^_^
Overall, I thought the Simpsons episode was pretty good. It started strong with School in Hell, but the Clockwork Orange parody left something to be desired.

It's funny that you mentioned the Clockwork Orange. I've seen it, but it's been nearly 35 years ago - a lot of the references were lost on me (I really should see it again). I think if they did a piece on that, that they should try to take on something like Dune. Maybe I'm nuts, but I'd love to see it.

Dune would be great. It's not very horrific (sandworms aside) so I don't know if it's really Treehouse of Horror material, but it would be fun to see.

I'm assuming you've seen my Dune piece with them. I actually have some pencil doodles of them in a Waterworld setting; Homer looks funny as hell as the mariner.

Normally I wouldn't compare Marge Simpson with Beelzebub, but for a Halloween-theme cartoon, I'd say this is very apropos. And using Homer as a keychain fob is very funny. Yep, I'd say its a long overdue payback for all the grief that Homer has caused Marge. Well done

::chuckles:: She can really keep tabs on him that way. It was an interesting project, as it was Marge, but then again it wasn't Marge (if that makes any sense). She had to be a little different, a little wicked. I love those glowing eyes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For this Halloween-themed persona of Marge, I'd say the eyes are quite appropriate. Every so often, I like to make a cartoon lady a little more "evil" than her normal persona. For example, I made Alice Mitchell into a leather dominatrix kiff57krocker.deviantart.com/a… who is dominating her husband, Henry, and really showing her "meaner" side. And after all, especially on Halloween, a little evil can be fun.

I think I got the eye-thingee from Rick Moranis in "Ghostbusters" when he gets angry with the coach driver.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes. I recall when Moranis' character, Louis Tulley, was possessed by one of the "toad dogs." I also remember Moranis as one of the "McKenzie Brothers" from their comedy album, "The Great White North" which also featured a song called "Take Off (to the Great White North)," sung by Geddy Lee from the group, Rush.

I like the way the eyes flared up red like that. I also still love the lines in that scene.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My favorite lines were from Dan Akroyd. When the Ghostbusters were put in jail, Akroyd shows how that huge apartment building, designed by an occultist/surgeon, was intended as a superconductive antenna to draw in and hold psychic phenomena. As he describes it to Bill Murray, "your girlfriend lives in the corner penthouse of 'spook central.' "

My favorite line for years was Bill Murray telling that guy in the elevator that someone saw a cockroach on the 23rd floor. "Must have been one hell of a cockroach."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that was the scene in the Sedgewick Hotel where the boys go for their first ghost-catching job. As they board an elevator, a man, eyeing their bizarre equipment, asks Murray, "what are you, some kind of a cosmonaut?" To which Bill replies "No, we're exterminators." After his first up close and personal encounter with the ghost, Bill Murray utters the phrase that would become part of the American lexicon; "He slimed me!" Hilarious!

I have a story to share about that movie that I shared with someone else recently. I saw it twice in the theater, once with my late father. My dad had been a legal aid attorney in New York back in the late 1950's. When they showed the New York Public Library, he told me that his office had been right across the street. That has always stuck with me.

Strange, isn't it, how certain things from our past will stay in our memories.

Oh, yeah...I don't know too terribly much about that part of his life, as it happened before I was born. He was a legal aid attorney in NYC, and absolutely hated it.

A lot of people get trapped in jobs or careers that they can't stand. Although most attorneys that I've known really like their profession (and especially the fees they collect).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
::chuckles:: I know he didn't make those kinds of fees in his job. He did tell me that the stress really battered him. He ended up doing insurance work with USF & G, and as you can imagine he climbed the company ladder with that degree of his. He definitely was your go-to guy if you had either a legal question or an insurance question.

And if anybody were to ask me a question about medieval Europe, which was part of my history major in college, then I would be the go-to guy, n'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk!

And I could help out if you have a question about flying or aviation.

Trust me, when it comes to a question about flying or aviation in general, especially if I use an airplane in an artwork of mine, you will be the first one I'll ask. Depend on it.

That was a very happy time in my life in the late 1980's...flight lessons at Mt. Comfort. Those nice old Cessna 150's. Summer days out there.

You're a very lucky man to have had that kind of experience. What I wouldn't give to be able to fly co-pilot aboard a Beechcraft Twin Baron 58 or a Cessna Skywagon or even a Piper Super Cub.

I had two really, really neat experiences as a pilot; once when someone let me take the wheel of an Ercoupe, and another when someone let me take the wheel of a Navion, the only retractable gear plane I've ever flown. We flew the Ercoupe from Brownsburg Airport to Speedway Airport, both long gone.

You're so lucky to actually be in the pilot's seat. Whenever I've flown it was always in the passenger seat of commercial airliners. However, I do recall flying in a real piece of aviation history; a genuine, fully restored Ford Tri Motor airliner from the Golden Age of Aviation. It was in the summer of 1969. My father took the family to the Van Nuys air show where a gentleman named Gerald Moxon was giving short rides around the airport in his Ford Tri Motor airplane. It was quite a thrill for me to be flying in this antique plane. The only drawback was that my seat was right next to the port engine (a tri motor has three engines you know) and for the duration of the flight, I had that big Wright radial engine roaring in my ears. I was deaf for over an hour after we landed and I got off the plane, but to be a part of aviation history like that was worth it. Besides, my hearing is quite okay now.

We have had a true piece of aviation history parked out at our local airport here for a while. Someone owned a Polish-built Antonov An-2 aircraft. The "Little Annie" was, and is still the largest biplane in existence, and amazingly is still flown around the world en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_… . The beast has pneumatic brakes like a truck, and is absolutely huge. The plane has such STOL characteristics that it technically has no stall speed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've seen photos of the An-2 biplane. I'm sure the gentleman who owns the aircraft you've seen at your airport probably had to do a lot of work on it to make this plane airworthy since maintenance on Soviet era planes left much to be desired. As for almost zero stall capabilities, that was a common feature among biplanes in general owing, I believe, to the extra lift provided by the top wing.

That leads me to another story. In the late 1980's I worked at the Indianapolis airport hauling stock between the gift shops. I was there in 1987 during the Pan Am games, sort of a mini-olympics between the central and south american countries. I was picking up a delivery on the tarmac when the Cuban team rolled up in a Cubana Tu-154. An odd sight with its downward- swept wings, it was noisy as hell. Interesting to see one in Indiana, though. While I was there the concorde visited us once, and one of the Presidential command post 747's as well.

When it comes to extraordinary planes, it seems like you've seen 'em all! And I'm not at all surprised that the Cuban Tu-154 was as noisy as you described since Soviet jet technology and manufacturing would insult the intelligence of a janitor at JPL or Boeing or Pratt and Whitney!

The thing that always cracked me up about the Soviet planes was that even the top of the line models always had that same fan that your bus driver had in school.

How true given the photos I've seen of the cockpits of Soviet military and civilian aircraft. Funny how the Soviets were unable to perfect air circulation at high altitudes in their aircraft so they have to resort to little fans in the cockpit. And this lack of air circulation was very common on Aeroflot airliners which added to the discomfort of passengers (as well as the fact that the majority of their flight attendants were uglier than a mule's backside).

When my sister flew in to St. Petersburg a few years back, I was glad to hear that she was flying Lufthansa as opposed to Aeroflot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Your sister chose well. Lufthansa has always maintained a high standard for it's planes and personnel. Only a person with a really masochistic personality (or a Russian) would fly on Aeroflot.

Marge looks so demonic here that she actually reminds me of these guys.
doom.wikia.com/wiki/Baron_of_H…
Oh and yes I dread to think what her sisters look like if they were in it. I bet the artists on the show had fun doing that segment, gives them a chance to draw the Simpson's differently for a change.
Faved.
