When You're As Important As

When Authorities Warn You Of The Sinfulness Of Sex, There Is An Important Lesson To Be Learned. Do Not Have Sex With The Authorities.

I Had Been Drawing My Weekly Comic Strip, 'life In Hell,' For About Five Years When I Got A Call From Jim Brooks, Who Was Developing 'the Tracey Ullman Show' For The Brand-new Fox Network. He Wanted Me To Come In And Pitch An Idea For Doing Little Cartoons On That Show.

With 'futurama,' I Was Just Worried That Somebody Would Beat Us To It; It Seemed So Obvious That There Should Be An Animated Science Fiction Show Set In The Future. And One Of The Reasons Why It's Not, I Learned, Is That It's Really, Really Difficult.

With "futurama," I Wanted To Do Unrequited Love, And David Cohen Agreed, And Although Our Original Plan Was Never To Have Fry And Leela Get Together, We Finally Just Said, "you Can Only String The Fans Along So Far."

You Know, I've Been Thinking. Everyone Makes Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwiches But Usually The Jelly Drips Out All Over The Side And The Guy's Hands Get All Sticky. But Your Jelly Stays Right In The Middle Where It's Supposed To. I Don't Know How You Do It? You Just Got A Gift, I Guess. I've Always Thought So. I've Just Never Mentioned It. But It's Time You Knew How I Feel. I Don't Believe In Keeping Feelings Bottled Up. Goodbye, My Wife.
