The renowned French comic writer, animator and film director Sylvain Chomet has created the latest Simpsons couch gag, and we have to admit, it’s absolutely brilliant – even if it’s a little odd.

Best known for his work The Old Lady and the Pigeons, The Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist, Sylvain Chomet is the man behind the latest Simpsons couch gag, which will appear in the upcoming episode titled ‘Diggs’.

According to the episode’s description, “Bart is rescued from a confrontation with Springfield Elementary’s bullies by Diggs, a recent transfer student and aspiring champion in the niche sport of falconry. But, Bart soon discovers that Diggs wants to do more than just wrangle falcons: he wants to take to the sky himself.”
