'When [The Simpsons] finally got their own program, my family and I made our weekly pilgrimage to Springfield. The thought that the show might be leaving us, considering that I had spent more of my life watching The Simpsons than not at this point, was a big deal. I thought of Springfield's more famous locations - how all of us (in the Western world, at least) know where to get a Squishy, grab a Flaming Moe, or remember when Jebediah Springfield lost his head. And I realized these completely fictional physical landmarks of television shows are a kind of cultural geography. . . So this was the ooze of pop-culture and melancholy that I had kicking around in my head when I dove into this art show.' Illustrated. viii+132 pages. Includes two loose illustrations signed and numbered of Bart's treehouse (456/1250) and Barney's Bowlarama (427/1250) signed by Tim Doyle..
