The Simpsons went on to become one of the most daring network television series of the 1990s, skewering pop culture, politics, and society in general at every opportunity. Anchored by the tales of its five-member, four-fingered, dysfunctional nuclear family, the series grew to provide more and more story lines for its wealth of rich supporting characters.
This is an original hand painted cel from the animated series "The Simpsons" featured in the first episode of Season 13 "Treehouse of Horror XII". It can be seen in the first mini-story "Hex and the City" which tells how a gypsy's curse turns Homer into a walking bad luck charm that makes monsters of his family members and kills off his best friends.
The episode first aired on November 6, 2001. This was the last "Halloween Special" created with hand drawn animation cels. Since 2002 Season 14 the studio switched the series over to computer animation.
This cel features 4 acetate layers and a copy background. Every layer appear in a slighty different time stamp and has hand drawn annotations at down telling technical information to help the animators. Also it has an individually numbered 20th Century Fox gold stamp in the first layer.
