Simpsons Illustrated
By R. A. Jones
Whoa, Mama! Have we got a magazine for you.
When the Fox television network decided to throw its animated cartoon series, “The Simpsons”, up against that powerhouse, “The Cosby Show”, it seemed as hopeless as aging boxer George Foreman attempting to take on heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield.
And the results were pretty much the same. “The Simpsons” came away beaten – but unbowed. It remains are probably the most successful prime time cartoon series since “The Flintstones” hit the screen. It’s a pop culture phenomenon that has affected our language and spawned a multitude of licensed by-products.
One spin-off is a new magazine, “Simpson Illustrated”. It’s not a large book – only 42 pages in length – but comes equipped with enough fun and games to satisfy any true “Simpsons” fan.
The book opens with a news section containing such noteworthy items as the story of a Texas state politician named Bart Simpson who was soundly defeated in a recent election. Also included is the actual ingredients found in sliced head cheese. Yum!!
For those whose brains are filled with useless information, there’s a Simpsons Trivia Quiz. We’re treated to Bart’s somewhat slanted re-telling of the legend of Goldilocks. In an interview with the animation directors of the show, we learn such behind-the-scenes secrets as how many spikes there are in Bart’s hair.
This is a slickly produced magazine that does a fairly good job of walking the same line trod by the TV series. It’s light and irreverent, and can be enjoyed by children and adults.
The series seems to have lost the bite found in earlier episodes. It’s been toned down and cleaned up, which is disappointing. Still, both it and the magazine offer plenty of entertainment.
“Simpsons Illustrated” costs $2.50, and is available on magazine racks and in comic book stores.

Homer Simpson, mi ídolo. La J, como se aclara en un gran capítulo, es de Jay. Como él mismo dijo: "Libres domingos y domingas, libertad para las dos".

IAN SIMPSON: the son of a demolition contractor, was born in Heywood, near Rochdale in 1955. Since the 1996 Manchester bombing by the IRA, SimpsonHaugh has played a leading role in the reconstruction of the city, with many of Manchester’s most notable new buildings having been designed by the firm: Beetham Hilton Tower, Great Jackson Street Buildings, Urbis, No.1 St Peter’s Square, Manchester Town Hall Extension, Library Walk, Deansgate Square, No.1 Spinningfields, Shudehill Transport Interchange and First Street to name but a few. Ian's designs define the modern Manchester we know today.
GREATER MANCUNIANS is a Manchester College student led landmark photography project (supported by Manchester City Council). It features those people born, bred, or who have made their home within the current Greater Manchester boundary and who have in some way culturally shaped the city and its surrounding boroughs.
The project will be published and exhibited in a major city centre exhibition in 2021/22.
Intricate grillwork over the entrance of the Robert Simpson Co. Department Store on Ste. Catherine St. in Montreal. Simpson's operated on the site from 1929 to 1989, when the company was folded into the Hudson Bay Co. Quebec-based Simons now occupies the store.
My friends and I took 6 1/2 hours to put this monstrosity together. It's got more than 2,500 pieces. It's the best.

One of my favourite pictures from PNG. A picture of Simpon's Harbour taken from near Navunaram. You can see Tavurvur (the volcano) smoking. The piece of land you see in the water is Matupit.

The former Gorleston lifeboat Elizabeth Simpson, pictured in the 1970s when she was being used as a trip boat on the Norfolk Broads.
Launched on the 23rd October 1889, the Elizabeth Simpson was one of the private lifeboats operated by the Ranger’s Beach Company for the Gorleston Volunteer Lifeboat Association. Built by the Beeching brothers, she was funded by the donation of £500 by a Miss Elizabeth Simpson Stone who had witnessed the tragic capsize of the lifeboat Refuge in 1888. Originally powered by oar and sail, the Elizabeth Simpson was motorized in 1926 and, with earnings from salvage dwindling, began to run sea trips for visitors during the summer months. The trips were advertised with the slogan “Help us in summer to save drowning men in winter“. Her last launch as a lifeboat was in February 1938, having given 50 years of service during which time she had saved over 400 lives.
The Elizabeth Simpson was 47 ft in length with a 13 ft beam and, as a trip boat, was licensed to carry up to 90 passengers. Although a canopy offered some protection from the weather, she didn’t have the onboard facilities which the Queen of the Broads offered, but was still very popular with visitors and continued to carry passengers on the Broads until the 1990s.
The last reference that I can find for her suggests that she is now lying in a garden somewhere in North Norfolk awaiting restoration.
Thomas Henry Simpson was a Detroit industrialist who died from pernicious anemia. In his memory, his widow Catherine MacDonald Simpson donated this Albert Kahn-designed building, built in 1927.
