"Come see the Warners and the Simpsons family as you've never seen them before! This Saturday on April 1! Only on Fox!" a proposed tagline. I honestly could have waited until it was actually April 1st, but I'll be out of town and away from a computer on that date.

These are more recovered, totally not fake, screenshots from a lost crossover special of Animaniacs and Simpsons made circa 1996. It was canceled mid production due to unknown production issues, and totally not by an artist who wanted to have another go at creating VHS screen captures again. No, it's not based on a crossover fanfic I still never got around to writing.

Okay, it is. Again. For the third time.

I figured I'd do some more. I had honestly planned on doing more much sooner since I had gotten further along with writing the actual story. But I ended up catching writers block midway. I still plan on finishing it one of these days...

To recap from the last post, the story behind this would have been a AU crossover fic where Yakko and Wakko Warner are former street hustlers turned detectives who team up with Wiggum PI and Skinny Boy Skinner.

What followed would be a series of hijinks; Wakko's bumpy relationship with Krusty; an entertainer who is on the run after being framed for a serious crime, The Wanrer Brothers searching for their missing Warner sister, who happens to get tied with the Springfield Mafia, and a few other familiar faces appear.
As you can see, the story would be goofy as far as plot goes but definitely darker and dramatic as far as tone goes. Lots of action, mystery, and definitely some slapstick violence.

These shots along with the corresponding quotes (clockwise from top left to bottom) give more insight into the TV special that was never meant to be. Or it will raise way more questions than answers.

Wiggum PI: "...Okay boys, how bout we make a quick pit stop at Moe's Tavern?"
Yakko: "Ooh I've always wanted know what a seedy bar is like! How about you treat us for helping you take on those mafia goons last night?"
Skinny Boy: "No way, Im not getting a mai tai for a minor!"

Dot: "Oh, Tony..."
Fat Tony: "I believe our new associate has already told you she hates being called Dottie"
Mobster:"Ididn'tsayDottie,IsaidDot! Dot! Dot! Dot!"

Wakko: "Sorry, old habits die hard. No hard feelings, Huh Krusty?
Krusty: "I can't feel anything..."

All three Warners: "Come on!"
Wakko: "Say the line!"
Blown up Comic Book Guy: "Worst crossover ever!"
