Wizard of Oz comic story references

Picture Comic issue Story name Reference The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis II #2 The Read Menace! The Tin Woodman is one of the fictional characters awakened when Professor Farnsworth's literary reality-tearing machine is set off in the New New York Public Library. Bart Simpson #71 Sound Thinking! In an effort to win a contest for the loudest and grossest video, Bart sets trucks loaded with killer bees, glue and nitroglycerin rolling toward a crowd. As Mayor Quimby, Homer and Marge flee the chaos, they exclaim together, "Bees! Glue! Nitro! Oh my!" This is a reference to the "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" line by Dorothy Gale, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman just before they meet the Cowardly Lion in the movie. Bart Simpson #72 Rock 'N' Roll After being hit on the head during a skateboarding stunt, Bart has a dream where he and his family members are cavepeople. When he wakes up, he says he had the strangest dream, then points in turn to Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Homer and tells them they were in it, echoing the scene where Dorothy wakes up at the end of the movie. Additionally, the neighbor's dog, Toto, jumps onto Bart's bed, confusing him. In addition to being a namesake, the dog is also a look-a-like for Toto the dog in the movie.

Picture Comic issue Story name Reference Simpsons Comics 57 How the Vest Was Won! Right after Bart gets his bulletproof vest, he envisions himself wearing it and standing with Milhouse and either Sherri or Terri, in a pose resembling a poster from the first movie. The Simpsons Summer Shindig 2 Chili Chili Bang Bang Chief Wiggum eats chili with insanity peppers and undergoes a vision quest with Wiggle Puppy as his spirit guide. When Wiggle Puppy asks Wiggum if he has any questions, Wiggum replies, "What was The Matrix about? I didn't get that movie at all." Simpsons Comics #214 N/A (Front cover) Comic Book Guy dresses up as the Death Star on the cover. Worst Con Ever! Comic Book Guy has a Tonton in Paris comic for sale in his booth at the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con. The issue he's selling has a Tauntaun on the cover. Chief Wiggum's Felonious Funnies 1 Future Cop! In Chief Wiggum's dream of being a cop in the future, Officer Shooty arrests Snake for a street theft. When Shooty reads Snake his rights, he says, "If you are in space, you have the right to have no one hear you scream", referencing the Alien tagline. Wiggum and his ape partner Officer Cornelius respond to a domestic dispute. The couple in the dispute are an Alien Queen and a Yautja warrior from Predator. The conflict between the couple escalates and the Predator activates the self-destruct device in his wrist gauntlet. The resulting explosion destroys the entire neighborhood and Wiggum and Cornelius escape barely in time. The visual as they fly away is similar to the end of Aliens, when the atmosphere processing station explodes.

Character Information Gender: Male ♂ Status: Fictional Occupation: Army surgeon First appearance: "Brother from the Same Planet" v • d • e • h

Hawkeye Pierce (given name Benjamin Franklin Pierce) is a surgeon on M*A*S*H.

History

Lisa got eardrops at Dr. Hibbert's office and had to wait 20 minutes for them to sink in. Hibbert offered her a M*A*S*H coloring book (with Hawkeye and his bunkmate B.J. Hunnicutt on the cover) in case she got bored. As he handed her the book, he glanced at the pictures and chuckled at one of them as he read the caption aloud: "Hawkeye's antics irritate the other surgeons."

Behind the Laughter

Hawkeye Pierce was the central protagonist of the M*A*S*H TV series and was one of the few characters to appear for the entire run of the show. His trademark was using humor to cope with the stress of front-line surgery. He was portrayed by Donald Sutherland in the film and Alan Alda in the TV series.

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference 22 473 "Donnie Fatso" When the FBI tell Homer they want to place him undercover in Fat Tony's gang, Homer tries to protest that he can't because he was briefly Tony's consigliere. When he can't pronounce "consigliere" (after several attempts), he instead says "Robert Duvall", referencing Robert Duvall's having played Tom Hagen the Consigliere in The Godfather. After Fit Tony takes over the Springfield Mafia, he tells Homer that because the world is screwed up, he keeps his friends close. Homer asks, "And your enemies closer?" referring to the catchphrase from The Godfather Part II, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."
