In Bart the General the last scene has Herman (has he been retired as a character?) and Grandpa writing an armistice styled after the WWI Treaty of Versailles for Bart and Nelson to sign. One of the points of the armistice was that Nelson would no longer raise his fists in anger and another point names him as a figurehead of the school playground. Obviously Nelson has used his fists in the role of the bully. So, is there a way to write a script that would parody current events by using Bart in the role of the US, Nelson in the role of Iraq and Milhouse in the role of the French (or somthing like that)?
Of course there is the problem that the characters never age so thusly hardly any time has elapsed since the armistice was signed. So there is a problem with timeline. So how would you work around that without a character looking at the audience with some comment about it?
What else would have to be done to make this work?
Obviously this is just for fun. The Simpson writers and staff are not allowed to read submitted scripts and whatnot. Even if they did read this, I don't think it's a great idea. Just something I thought of after watching Bart the General at the 10:30 airing on the local Fox station and thought I would throw out here to see if anyone had ideas �
