The story relies on the Futurama episode "[http://theinfosphere.org/The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Stupid The Day the Earth Stood Stupid]". In that episode, the Brain Spawn transported [[Fry]] and [[Leela]] into many works of literature, including ''Tom Sawyer'' and ''Moby Dick''. It also makes use of the idea that Futurama is "real" and The Simpsons is just a TV show in the Futurama universe (as it is in ours).

Issues

The story relies on the Futurama episode "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid". In that episode, the Brain Spawn transported Fry and Leela into many works of literature, including Tom Sawyer and Moby Dick. It also makes use of the idea that Futurama is "real" and The Simpsons is just a TV show in the Futurama universe (as it is in ours).

Behind the Laughter

The series was written by Simpsons Comics writer Ian Boothby and illiustrated by James Lloyd. The ending was originally written as a joke ending, but later Boothby and Lloyd used the ending to create the sequel to the series, Crossover Crisis II.

Part One was released on August 21, 2002 and Part Two on January 28, 2003 in the USA - both parts were released in early 2003 in the UK.

References

  • Back to the Future Part II - when Bart and Fry are using "hoverboards" through Springfield. Comic Book Guy accuses them of ripping off this film.
  • The title is a reference to DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths and Marvel's Secret Wars.
  • When Mr. Burns hears Hermes and Dr Zoidberg discussing their problem, he enters the room with two bodyguards, one of which looks remarkably similar to Fry's father.

Goofs

  • Principal Skinner says that Mrs Krabappel is "home sick after eating some undercooked steam hams", but she was seen earlier in a crowd scene - although she could have faked sick to take the day off.
  • When Bart arrives at school in Part Two, he is wearing a blue shirt, but then switches to his usual red-orange shirt in the next panel.
  • The fact that comics give "false hope" for X-ray glasses contradicts with "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back," where Bender uses his "lucky specs" to cheat in poker.
