Design #58: Springfield University

Although the Springfield University logo appears in a few episodes, it caught my eye in “Faith Off” which is episode 11 from season 11. Overall it’s not a highly memorable episode, Bart becomes a faith healer and there’s a college football game of some sorts. But I did always find the idea of an ice pick with a laser sight for accuracy somewhat hilarious.

Design #55 & #56: Beauty and the Beast shirts

These two designs are from episode 8 from season 20 called “Members Only”. I can’t really remember whats in it, I just took a screenshot of the shirts Eric and Heidi wear. That’s basically it. Maybe you and your significant other that both love South Park might enjoy it as couples attire.

Design #54: Martin’s Wang Computers shirt

This shirt comes from season 5 episode 5 “Treehouse of Horror IV” specifically the short “Terror at 5 and a half feet”. The Treehouse of Horror episodes have always been among my favourite episodes as they spoofed some great classic tales and gave the writers some creative freedom as the shorts are not canon to the Simpsons universe. This specific short mimics The Twilight Zone’s “Nightmare at 20,000 feet” which was originally released back in 1963 and starred William Shatner. Interestingly enough, the Twilight Zone episode is based on a short story written in 1961. But anyways before I go too far down that rabbit hole, in the episode Martin is shown wearing a “Wang Computers” shirt. As hilarious as that company name is, it was an actual electronics company founded in 1951. It attempted to compete with IBM, essentially lost, and was absorbed by a Dutch company in the 90s. But again, that’s not a rabbit hole I’ll go any further down for now.

Design #53: Homer’s Ambition

In episode 5 from season 28, Homer listens to his ambition. Which is a mini Homer that lives in his head. Naturally his lifespan is short lived and dies by the end of the episode. But his ambition wears a sweatshirt with a big A on it so I decided to make it a design. I really didn’t watch this episode, but the short version is Krusty launches a new food product, Kent loses his job, and Lisa helps Kent get it back by exposing the ingredients in said food product. The main thing that stood out to me is that this episode is called “Trust but Clarify” which is an old Russian proverb that is noted in HBO’s “Chernobyl” mini series.

Design #52: I’m with Admiral Stupid

This one is from season 9 episode 19 called “Simpson Tide”. Homer gets fired from his job (surprise surprise) and enlists in the navy. Eventually his group goes on a training exercise to simulate an enemy threat, and while it’s glossed over, he essentially kills his commanding officer which leads to him being captain of a submarine. My personal favourite part of this episode is Homer’s smug expression when he’s on trial for eating the population of the planet of the doughnuts. If that seemed out of left field it’s because it’s Homer’s dream sequence at the beginning of the episode which is entirely unrelated.
