What was it that Homer as soon as stated? “Lisa, if you don’t like your job you don’t strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.”
But that’s not the WGA means. So Friday, the inventive crew behind The Simpsons (current and previous!) hit the picket line at Fox and even handled fellow strikers to specially-designed placards from the person himself — Matt Groening. Also becoming a member of the road have been beloved scribes James L. Brooks, Al Jean, Matt Selman, Dana Gould and Conan O’Brien, amongst others.
In a tweet, Tyler Ruggeri wrote, “The Simpsons picket at Fox was by far our biggest and best day on the lot.” Groening, in the meantime, cooked up a number of customized indicators that had Bart saying “Steamed hams? More like steamed writers” and Lisa saying “Lisa needs residuals.”
When he wasn’t autographing his customized placards, Groening carried an indication that learn “WGA vs. Mr. Burns.”
It was Day 39 of the strike, with none motion from the AMPTP. Once once more, Homer stated it greatest: “I’m not normally a praying man, but if you’re up there, please save me, Superman.”
