ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Perhaps we should have known all along that David Silverman would pursue a life in animation and would make us laugh. When his father, a professor of chemical engineering, read to him at night, it wasn’t “Goodnight Moon” or “Oh, The Places You’ll Go.” It was Walt Kelly and the classic comic strip “Pogo.” At the movies, it was Charlie Chaplin and “Modern Times” and “The Gold Rush,” when David was all of five.
All these years later, after decades of working on “The Simpsons,” the love affair with animation that makes us laugh is still very much alive.
