That’s not Superman. Love Henry- hope he gets to do more in that genre… but wasn’t the right fit.

Thanks! One of the hardest ones I’ve worked on in terms of pencil mileage. The baseball scenes with Homer killing people- had to xerox drawings WAY down and cut them into animation paper bc they were so small. Sure it made drawing them for the animators tricky but they did a great job!

Drew this whole sequence in layout. Have worked on a number of treehouse of horrors over the years- this one is a top two favorite. The other is probably Death Tome. Just so happy with how the final animation turned out!!

Needs to be challenged when he uses that answer. The go to answer for any of them when they don’t want to talk about a topic.

Got to draw it as blocks. Worked hard(ish) to make sure we did it right. :-)

The largest section I ever remember working on back when we were drawing on paper. The stadium was FULL as Homer went through killing people. Took a couple weeks to draw this section all out.

Thank you! :-) Was a blast having a hand in on everything from the boards all the way to the finished product. 👏👏😁😁

Pretty clear WHY it seems impossible to get through to some people…

They need to say that’s not an adequate answer anymore.

When they say they don’t know anything about this or that, they should be challenged on that- it is you JOB to know what’s going on around you.

Probably my favorite act I’ve storyboarded on the Simpsons. Blown away with how good the animation turned out. We all were.
