It\u2019s all in French, but the images tell the whole story. The Simpsons is one of popular entertainments most enjoyable ongoing acts of creative theft. It borrows, steals and sends up nearly as much content from other sources as <em>The Wasteland<\/em> or Girl Talk. The creators of that wonderful cartoon have always layered into the story lines a variety of cultural references that can pass by so quickly, they\u2019re essentially throwaway jokes. The image of Marge sitting at her vanity tending her beehive might have slipped past unrecognized as a parody of Normal Rockwell\u2019s <em>Girl at the Mirror<\/em>, but most are unmistakable: Michelangelo\u2019s <em>Creation of Adam<\/em> in the Springfield post office, Homer\u2019s portrait as a version of Van Gogh in his pale blue suit coat, and the Mondrian hanging on the wall of the Simpson living room. <em>Mmmm, painting! \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I got a quick sentimental education this morning from The Very Short List\u2014its headline an homage to Flaubert, in the spirit of the post.
