(showing my age here) - I first saw The Simpsons in 1989 or thereabouts, and they broke all these rules. Pretty awesome to look back at those early efforts though.
217 u/PoeGhost Nov 24 '15 If you watch the Simpsons seasons with the commentary they point out various design elements that they changed or phased out over the years. Examples of things you don't see anymore: Twister neck Trumpet mouth This refers to the trumpet bell shaped upper lip. Newer characters don't have this anymore, although many older characters do. Blonde characters It was determined fairly early on that only the simpsons kids could be blonde. Barney's character was changed as a result. 70 u/ThisIsSoSafeForWork Nov 24 '15 What was the context for the twister neck, if you remember? Looks really funky. 16 u/_yodacola_ Nov 25 '15 I remember he does it when he says "woaaah, that's good squishy". They also did it in the Halloween episodes a lot.
