I badly want a poster of Watchmen Babies.  In fact, I want to read it.

That is beyond brilliant. Can't wait to see it. Isn't Spiegelman in it too? Fantastic.

"To the cash bar!"

I'm torn. I want to watch it because Alan Moore's in it, but I don't want to watch it because it's yet another new Simpsons celebrity guest star episode. What's a bitter ex-fan to do?

[Bico]

I hate the episodes - like the tennis one - where they trot out people and you have no idea whatsoever why they're there.  Having seen the Moore one, I can say it makes a lot of difference if you're actually in on the joke.
Well, I say 'joke' - this is latter-day Simpsons, after all.

Worst Episode Ever.

Actually I don't mean that, but felt I had to say it.

How could anyone not love that?  Maus is in da haus!  Dan Clowes draws Batman's utility belt!  Alan Moore singing!  Excellent.

I haven't watched a new episode of The Simpsons for years, but I might watch this one. If I remember.

Another screen grab: the Comic Book Guy tears the rival shop apart.

I bet Chris Ware threw a fit when he wasn't invited.

[Grant Goggans]

Funny thing you should say that... I passed the word on to several geek friends that this Simpsons would have Alan Moore, Art Spiegleman and... Chris Ware.  Ooops.

[Adrian Bamforth]

Anyone know if it was Moore's singing in the closing credits as planned?

[Buttonman]

The comics bits were good but the episode was let down by a waek Marge sub-plot (as usual). Good to see a bit of Tintin action too as was Moore's reinvention of Radioactive man.
