Another Simpsons topic

I decided we didn't have enough. Actually, I found this:

http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=270477&GT1=7703

Details on 19th season episodes. See what you think.

[spoiler]It continues the trend of using literary guest stars (as opposed to guest stars that people have actually heard of), but this time, I actually HAVE heard of Art Spiegelman and Alan Moore. Given the audience this site is geared toward, you probably have too.

I'm wondering what they mean by "so many comic references," are they going to do their homework and dig up some really obscure stuff? Or just lazily reference things they've already heard of?

I've never been a fan of the far-out plots, but Ralph Wiggum as a presidential candidate is just SO absurd I have to know how it turns out.

More things:

— "Spider Pig" from The Simpsons Movie will make an appearance in the first episode of the new season. There was a scene with the loveable pig at the end of the movie that got cut, but it will most likely make it onto the DVD.

— Lurlene Lumpkin is coming back next season.

— For Valentine's Day there will be a Sid and Nancy episode, with Nelson as Sid Vicious and Lisa as Nancy Spungen.

I was expecting the pig to return, but more Lurleen after all these years? Yeehaw!

ART SPIEGELMAN?!!!!!
Holy crap! That's awesome.
Well, sorta. After all he's just doing the voice of someone, I mean if everyone heard him talk before, that would be something. But this? Not so much.

Has anyone here besides me read Maus?

The Simpsons need to die. I thought it was ending with the movie?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Guest voices...NOT...playing as themselves? When was the last time that happened?

One particular accordion-playing celeb will be making a second visit to Springfield, hehe---

I can't wait!

from the Futurama DTV movies thread:

That gives me hope for the Simpsons ride, and the intro to the new Treehouse of Horror special sounds hilarious.
