Back to the Futurama

Two of the best animated shows ever. What about Family Guy? Meh. It has its moments, but it’s not in the same class as these two. This is actually part of a panel from a Fururama comic book where the Futurama cast is trapped in a Simpson’s comic book by evil floating brains. I found this over at Insane Journal after getting sidetracked while doing an image search for Stella Stevens on a skateboard. It was a fruitless search, but I did find illustrations of Fry and Bart Simpson skateboarding together. There’s even a Back to the Future plug. Let’s analyze that. A real movie reference in a comic book that takes place inside the universe of a different comic book. Now if only there was a skateboard in The Venture Brothers.

This story appears in Bongo Comics Futurama Simpsons Infinitely Secret Crossover Crisis #2 which is not to be confused with Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis #2, another 2 part series which came out a couple years later. If you ‘re scratching your head, the difference is in the titles. Futurama-Simpsons vs. Simpsons-Futrama.
