Ever wonder what Bart does when he's off-camera? Want to know his special diet that keeps him forever young, how he feels about his genius creators, or if he's considering a spin-off series? Hey! Wake up and eat his shorts! He's a cartoon character, man! He doesn't have an off-camera life! But the person who knows more about 'The Simpsons' than anyone else alive - except perhaps Matt Groening - is here to tell all about the show.
Nancy Cartwright is the voice of Bart Simpson. She traces 'The Simpsons' rapid rise to wild popularity, offers hilarious anecdotes about cast members and guest stars - including Mel Gibson, Meryl Streep and Elizabeth Taylor - and reveals what it's like to be at the centre of an institution, one that reinvented the sitcom, rocked the networks to the core, and forever changed the face of television.
This book also goes behind the scenes into the world of 'The Simpsons' animation. Follow the process of creating an entire season, from pencil to screen, and see how the creators defy the laws of physics and turn out twenty-two episodes a year that take ten months each. No way, man! Yes, way.
