Comics

I'm guessing comics are still considered canon? It is just that on the page Globex Corporation, they are under the non-canon section. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 06:39, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, unless they are THOH or stuff like that.--Sgtcook (My Talk Page) 17:08, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
Most events in the comics are never mentioned in the show, and they sometimes contradict information in the shows. The producers never really addressed whether the comics are canon or not, but most fans consider canon as anything that happens in the series and the movie only. Ldude893 11:57, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Rules

Proposed rules:

  1. Everything is considered canon except Treehouse of Horror, Bible Stories and other similar trilogy episodes.
  2. If another source contradicts an episode, the episode comes first. Before books etc.
  3. If a game has something non-canon about it, such as characters from Treehouse of horror in, it is non canon.

If we go by these rules, that can make everything work, I think. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 12:03, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable, though I really think the events in the comics are noncanon. Many of the stories are just impossible to occur in the show. Take Simpsons Comics #1 and #8 for example, these two comics involve a growth/shrinking ray, an object that generally falls into the category of Treehouse of Horror, except this isn't a Halloween comic. And Issue #33 involves the entire town switching roles with other characters due to an invention by Professor Frink going haywire, it's too unrealistic to occur in the show.
What if we define "non-canon" as any Simpsons media outside the show or the movie that isn't referenced in the show or doesn't affect the show itself? Ldude893 12:26, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
