Doh! Waiting for The Simpsons Movie
If we’ve waited this long for The Simpsons Movie to finally come to the local megaplex, I guess another five days won’t kill us. Opening day is Friday.
While you’re waiting, you might want to log on to The Simpsons Movie web site and create a version of yourself as a Simpsons character. You can choose body type and coloring, hair, eyes, noses, degree of ridiculous Matt Groening-style overbite, and so on.

daughter, done up in Simpsons style.

You’ll have to register. But, hey, it’s amusing and it kills a few minutes. And don’t kid me: I know you’ll do this at work.

UPDATE:
Turns out, our friends over at the News Artists Organization already have a a thread about these Simpons avatars. Several folks have posted their renderings of themselves. Check them out here:

Don’t miss the Springfield Shopper. You can pick up a copy at the Kwik-E-Mart.

I’m no huge fan of “The Simpsons,” but I couldn’t resist. My Simpsons self-portrait is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/markdm/854108482/

Sideshow Bob?!?! Fine, looks like I’ll be calling you “Apu” for a awhile.
Nice avatar Mark. Here’s mine’s at NAO, I photoshopped the hair and beard a little …

[...] We were playing with the create-your-own-Simpsons-avatar tool just the other day, before The Simpsons Movie opened. We created avatars of ourselves. You may recall that I blogged about it: http://www.visualeditors.com/apple/2007/07/doh-waiting-for-the-simpsons-movie/ [...]
