Don't think anyone else did this, so here goes:

                  1        2
     Fat Tony                        Scratchy
         Herman       3              4          Largo
5                          Database/Lawyer?
              Larry Burns        6                7
Don Dimaggio                    Uter
 Lunchlady Doris       Rod(?)                     8
McBain     Snake     Alison             9       COM
         10                  CBG                Krusty
11          Quimby          12                 Maude

1: Possibly Mitch Peterson, the squeaky-voiced teen. His body is seen to some extent, and it looks like he's been turned into a frog. 2: Boy, much of torso comes out of mirror. Possibly Billy from the later Troy McClure infomovies. 3 Sloppily-drawn male, two-dimensional. Appears to have been Gil, originally. 4: Face, doesn't move at all in the shot. Resembles Tommy from Rugrats, but is more likely a corpse face. Has five long, distinct hairs sticking out of the side of its head. 5: Older woman, hair in bun in the back. High cheekbones. 6: CBG, again, less distinct features. 7: Krusty, again, less distinct features, no hair on sides. Animators may have gotten confused as to where the Krusty/CBG exchange would be in the next shot, as this one scrolled up. 8: Appears in earlier frames to be a specific non-character (writer, storyboard artist, etc). Then changes into an unmistakeable Frank Grimes. 9: Appears in earlier frames to be Troy McClure, but the face becomes bigger and more exaggerated as the animation goes on, at one point looks like Mel Gibson, then a specific non-character. 10: Corpse: pupil-less eyes intact, fleshless cheeks 11: Man, sunglasse. Possibly Bleeding Gums Murphy, but no beard. Possibly Radioactive Man. 12: Skull, hallowed out eyes

Other notes: Everyone seems to be without form, but it seems more thanks to lousy animation than to the curse of the wall. Most of the character names I came up are only having watched each character change over the course of the shot several times. For instance, Alison Taylor is recognizable only by her hairstyle, with the beret accross the middle of her head. COM (Crazy Old Man) is only recognizable after seeing his single tooth in the second shot of the wall (he has a full row in the first). Uter's face looks more like Martin's, but his hair is the tiebreaker. Lunchlady Doris looks like Princess Khasmir in several frames. Cases like the Database/Lawyer scenario have me guessing. Herman only looks like Herman for one frame ( I originally had him down as a non-Simpsons character).

Second shot, lower right-hand corner:

                          ?
Alison                                   COM
                        Krusty
CBG
                      12                 Maude
Quimby (recognizable by hair only)

Other notes: Maude is noticeably voiced by Tress MacNeille.

This is the pimply teenager who's been seen in a variety of different jobs during the show's history, right? I thought he was one of a handful of characters that didn't have a name. When was he referred to as 'Mitch Peterson'?

"Mitch" in "Selma's Choice," and "Mr. Peterson" in "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy." Of course, there could be more than one pimple-faced teen.
