"Mr. Moore? Will you sign my DVD of Watchmen Babies?" Possibly the greatest Simpson's cameo ever, featuring Alan Moore, Art Spiegelman and Dan Clowes.

While I've got you, here's a bunch more Alan Moore goodness.

It was pretty dumb, actually.

How's this for a front page post. Alan Moore: syncretic pantheist, or fuckin' nuts?

I'm just amazed Fox hasn't eaten this clip yet.

I'm just amazed Moore hasn't thrown a hissy fit and taken his name off the episode yet.

This clip has already been taken down a few times today; I doubt this one will last either. It is sort of funny, and the loop at the end is even funnier.

And you could do a follow-up. Art Spiegelman: Self-important hack or pretentious dope?

And then another. Daniel Clowes: is that guy fucked up, or does he just like it when people think so?

Peter Bagge: drunken genius or drunken genius?

I'm sorry, fanboys. The greatest Simpsons cameo ever has to be Thomas Pynchon.

OK, not all that funny, but "Watchmen Babies in V for Vacation" totally redeems it.

It makes me feel old and dusty to say this, but this would have been really awesome and cutting edge-ish 15 years ago.
