B Sharps episode

in this episode after the new york concert, at the party where homer meets George Harrison, then he eats the brownies - he eats like a pig (his usual manner!) how come the pile doesn't get any smaller, like he's eating them whole....LOL.

On the same subject, Fox showed the ep when Marge becomes a cop yesterday. It has a couple of those animation oddities, like the way the celery cuts into many slices into pieces without touching the knife, and when she goes under the wire fence it just kind of appears behind her. I assume it's just cheap animation or time saving, but it looks kind of odd and gives the impression different parts of the scene were put together at different times. Maybe someone who knows how these things are drawn can shed some light?

Any time you notice something like that, a wizard did it.

Wizard.

Along the same lines, I also noticed that when the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street eats cookies they just crumble and fall out of his mouth. He never actually eats them!! It's like he is incapable of swallowing! What gives? I thought he loved cookies?

He's bulimic. How do you think he keeps his figure?

Cookie Monster has a figure?

Correct, he's actually eating and vomiting at the same time.

manner!) how

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for your question.

The reason why the pile never gets smaller is that the animators leave it the same size so that Homer can continue to eat without exhausting the supply of brownies... thus creating the illusion that Homer is eating more and more, enhancing his image as a pig, and the idea of him preferring brownies rather than meeting the famous star.

It is not an animation "goof", rather it is quite intentional.

Peace,

Jerry
