The Comics Journal #165
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Chris Ware in 'From Here to There'," a rare solo effort by S. A. King, the story unfolds as a sharp, self-aware commentary on animation production, framed around a fictionalized moment where Matt Groening pitches a bold idea to Fox executives. With all art, writing, inking, and lettering by King, the piece blends dry wit with the quiet precision of its creator’s hand, capturing a moment of creative friction in the industry. The cover, a collaborative effort by Matt Wagner and Tom Tomorrow, complements the story’s satirical edge with its layered, stylized design.
In a sharp, one-page satire from The Comics Journal #165, Matt Groening pitches animating "The Simpsons" in the U.S. instead of outsourcing to Taiwan, only to face the predictable pushback from Fox TV executives—highlighting the absurdity of corporate cost-cutting with a wry, deadpan punch.
