Our expert's notes

A highly collectable pair of original production cel setups from the episode "Homer Alone" (Season 3, Episode 15), brilliantly spoofing the classic Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote title gags from Warner Bros. animation.
Pieces of this calibre, featuring Homer and Bart in iconic poses, paired in a single sequence, and layered with such referential cleverness, would have been snapped up instantly when released through the studio's original art programme. Today, they remain a standout acquisition for any serious collector of The Simpsons, the longest-running animation series in history.
Presented with faux-scientific nameplates: "Homer (Homo Neanderthal'us)" and "Bart (Brat'us Don'thaveacow'us)", the two-setup scene captures the duo mid-chase through the house in wildly expressive, full-figure poses. It's a moment of pure Simpsons mischief, framed with visual wit and pop culture homage.
Both setups feature original hand-painted cels from the era when The Simpsons were still produced using traditional animation methods (Seasons 1-13) before the switch to digital colouring and production. Each setup bears the official 20th Century Fox seal and comes in a blue-coloured mount. The lot is accompanied by two 20th Century Fox Studio Art certificates of authenticity. Dimensions (each mounted): 35.5 cm x 43.25 cm (14" x 17")
