We're in week three of discussing this one scene.

If I were smrt (I mean smart) I would have cov...

0426 - Man

Another day, another boardroom bore. This guys gets most prominence in this particular scene, blaming a "gypsy curse" and reveals the name of the company's new car model.

0425 - Man

We're still in Herb's boardroom for a bit, and today our eye focuses on the fella on the right, who blames the company's recent shortcomings on "mushy-headed one-worlders in Washington."

0424 - Lady

Get used to this boardroom of Powell Motors executives, we're gonna see a few of them:

0423 - Peeing Man

I have a real treat for you all today. This gentleman encounters Homer in a restroom and is star struck by his resemblance to Herb.

0422 - Cop

Part of this episode includes the family Simpson driving across the country to meet Herb, and a few simple gags and scenes emerge from this road trip. Homer's encounter with this cop is one of them...

Patreon Print - March 2025

This was the single most popular entry from Moe-dern Art last year, in terms of social media reach (the most important metric in art, we can all agree.) I think people responded to the absurdity of...

Herb first appears on screen during Homer's phone call with him, shrouded in mystery.

It is then...

The first appearance of Homer's mother is not as iconic as you would hope.

BONUS! Nurse

This lady gives Homer to his mother (spoiler: we'll meet her tomorrow.) I presume she retrieved him from the stork or something.

0417 - Gaby

The first and only appearance in the show of Herb Powell's biological mother, who works at the carnival.

BONUS! "Skirts"

The idea of Abe going to the carnival to "check out skirts", or having any kind of libido at all, makes me uncomfortable.

0416 - Cinema Employee

This is a proto-Squeaky Voiced Teen, sort of, and I think we'll be seeing a few of them before the character is truly established.

McBabe (unnamed in the actual episode) shows up at the end of McBain for a couple of lines and a smooch. I assume she has been a presence throughout the actual movie and this isn't her first time i...

BONUS! Gangsters and McBain

I thought I'd cover the rest of Mendoza's shady criminal cabal - they laugh and scream but no one is singled out for a distinct line, so they naturally get relegated to bonus status. On revisiting ...

0414 - Gangster

As before, yes yes, this is an actor, not an actual gangster. He does a fine job before his big violent death scene.

By popular vote, the second print of the year will be a return to Moe-dern Art! "Edvard Moe-nch" was designed as a big crowd pleaser piece, based on a recognisable artwork (the poster to Home Alone...

0412 - Jewellery Salesman

As is often the case with these episodes, we end with a insignificant speaking character (no offense, jewellery salesman).

The other star(?) of Space Mutants V: A Land Down Under. You can tell he's Australian by his hat.

0409 - Actress

This Australian actress can be seen in Space Mutants V: A Land Down Under. She's a real Margot Robbie of her time.

Our old friend Jimmy Pearson (remember him? From yesterday?) is chatting this young lady up, ignoring their customers for the most part.
