That Alvaro Arteaga Sabaini's design hasn't been used as a Simpsons couch gag yet is a testament to its originality. The objects fit perfectly into the living room and reference a moment in the show: Homer's bowling ball bag, Bart's fireworks, Maggie's snowsuit and a plant mistaken for Marge. Not sure about the lamp, but you have to love Lisa's pearl necklace pull string.

the lamp is Lisa's dress, no?
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is, but all the other objects were referencing something else in the show. Though I may be parsing my Simpsons references a little too fine.
ReplyDeleteYhat's the dress she wore when George W. Bush moved in across the road!
ReplyDeleteTouché
ReplyDeleteI thought it was related to her battle to get the street lights turned off at night so she could watch a meteor shower.
ReplyDeleteI think (gasp) I missed that one. Having just read a synopsis, I accept your ruling.
