Design #20: Dignity
Possibly one of the greatest Simpsons scenes of all time comes from season 8 episode 6 called “A Milhouse Divided”. Although the final result of the scene is Luann demanding divorce, which is a serious topic, the lead up is hilariously absurd. The eyebrow, the awkward comments at dinner, cornstarch keeping down the urges, the portrayal of dignity during charades, the commotion of Lisa’s singing, and Allied Biscuit. There’s a reason this scene, and Kirk’s drawing of dignity, is an absolute classic that has spawn countless Simpsons shitposts. So it was only natural that I make this a design in my shop. On a side note, the first sale for this design was not on a t-shirt or some other commonly purchased item. It was in an acrylic block as pictured below. That along makes me cry with laughter. Simpsons fans will get an instant kick out of it on someone’s mantle while those who don’t know what it is may believe it’s a piece of modern art.

Design #19: Worst Convention Ever!
I’ll be blunt, I have no idea which season or episode this is from. I simply saved the picture a while ago and made the design. My googling skills are lacking and Frinkiac has let me down too. If you DO know, leave me a comment!

Design #18: Krusty’s Wimbeldon shirt
In season 4 episode 1 called “Kamp Krusty” all hell breaks loose when the kids revolt against camp due to the deplorable conditions. When Krusty travels to visit the camp, you can tell he was spending his time partying at Wimbledon, as per tradition.

Design #17: Die Bart Die
Not really a background item that I replicated, but I figured that tattoos can also work as designs on shirt. I know, I’m a genius. The one is from a golden era episode called “Cape Feare” which is episode 2 of season 5. It involves Sideshow Bob being released from prison and the Simpsons being put into the witness relocation program. Among many brilliant jokes, how Bob brushes off the accusation that he has this tattoo on his chest that says “Die Bart, Die” is pure gold as well as the follow up quip from the courtroom. For this one rather than just use simple text, I decided to make it more accurate to the cartoon style, as it looks more authentic as a poorly done prison tattoo.

Design #16: Crestfield Wax Paper
Homer gets a gun in episode 5 of season 9 called “The Cartridge Family” and of course is a reckless idiot with it. The reason though, is that Springfield becomes engulfed by a riot that was sparked by a soccer game. At the beginning of the game, legendary soccer player Pelé gives a short speech sponsored by Crestfield Wax Paper while where a soccer jersey with this logo on it. Is this the actually Crestfield Wax Paper official logo? I have no clue as to what it is so I’m going to say yes.

Design #15: Captain Springfield?
This one is from season 2 episode 21 called “Three Me and a Comic Book” where Bart, Martin, and Milhouse pool their money together to buy a copy of the coveted Radioactive Man #1 comic book. A the beginning of the episode, Bart attends a comic convention and the doorman wears a shirt that where the logo resembles Captain America’s logo. While I could have drawn a perfect star and such, I decided to make this look a bit like the cartoon and made it a bit wonky.

Design #14: Yes on 24
In season 7 episode 23 called “Much Apu About Nothing”, Homer declares that the Bear Patrol tax is the biggest tax increase in history, so of course it was only natural for the corrupt mayor to declare that it was due to illegal immigrants. Thus begins the campaign to vote yes on proposition 24. I can’t say I share the sentiment, but making this replica pin was fairly easy so why not.

Design #13: Oops Patrol
In season 15 episode 2 called “My Mother the Carjacker” Marge seems oddly forceful to push the kids and Homer to watch TV, something she normally doesn’t care for. That’s because Marge is awarded an “Oops Patrol” t-shirt for spotting a typo in the local paper. She wears it with pride although as usual Homer ruins it and sets off the main plot to the episode. Just a disclaimer, if you wear this design it will not cure your depression as Marge claims.

Design #12: Hans Moleman: Thug Life
Alright this frame is from a throwaway joke in season 13 episode 20 called “Little Girl in Big Ten”. This episode is after the golden era, but it’s rated 329 out of 768 episodes, making it about as average as you can get. However, this episode did feature Hans Moleman going incognito at a college which for whatever reason I found absolutely hilarious. At the time this was my most ambitious illustration and I’m quite happy with the result, though it does go a bit against the idea of recreating clothing and background items seen in the show.
