Sorry, we just have something in our eye…
Anyone who loved/loves The Simpsons was saddened by the news last week that Marcia Wallace, the actress whose voice we all knew as Bart’s teacher Edna Krabappel, had died. The 70-year old died after complications suffered following a bout of pneumonia, and her death was greeted with global sadness as her character was one of the most beloved in the long-running cartoon. Last night’s new episode of the show in the States paid tribute to Wallace by working her into Bart’s blackboard bit in the title sequence.Tonight's chalkboard gag on @TheSimpsons, in honor of Marcia Wallace, is a heartbreaker. pic.twitter.com/8nY5mMQs8l — Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) November 4, 2013It’s the look on Bart’s face that really gets you. Beautifully done by all involved.
