There is something about observing a single image from “The Simpsons” at a time, as opposed to watching a full episode, that makes for a new kind of perspective on the show.

As I’ve continued to peruse these accounts in the last few months, I’ve realized that their delights come in more than one flavor. What strikes me most immediately and naturally, perhaps, is their easy ability to remind me of a good bit from a favorite episode.

What allows for such a level of attention is the highly particular quality of these accounts: their division according to subcategories, from clothes to food, books, and magazines. If we’re interested in what Smithers wears, we know where we are most likely to find a picture of that outfit. But, more broadly still, there is something about observing a single image at a time, as opposed to watching a full episode, or bingeing on several, that makes for a new kind of perspective on the show.

… such bs … many of us have been freeze-framing this work of long art since the beginning, and in days-of-yore, for this olde observer & his teachers, since 1945/46/47 … (conflicting birth documentation) … so, sigh is not a big enough word …

I love this article

Stand-alone images from the show are as quietly stunning as any made by our greatest American artists of alienation and loneliness. Do you ever listen to yourself?

Random shot of self-esteem for the snobs, the New Yorker.
