Haha, The Simpsons is such an institution now that they're bringing in novelists to write for the show, including Gore Vidal, Johnathan Franzen, and Michael Chabon.

Other interesting tidbits:

- "Paul [Reuben, aka Pee Wee Herman] and I [Gary Panter] just pitched an animated version [of Pee WeeÃ¢Â€Â™s Playhouse] to Cartoon Network: Earth is destroyed. Pee WeeÃ¢Â€Â™s Playhouse is in outer space. Pee Wee falls asleep until the year 1999. The characters are mutated. And he hates them all."

- Futurama's still on track with 4 DVD movies that'll be sectioned into 30 minute episodes for a 2008 Comedy Central airing.
