0010 - Bart’s Conscience (Patreon)

You probably should have seen this coming.

Aren't cartoons great? It's easy to dismiss them as wacky children's entertainment, but as a medium, being able to use visual metaphors in this way rules. I'll tell you this: you're not getting a little angel and devil to represent a character's internal moral dilemma in stuff like The Sopranos.

As a storytelling tool, I just think this sort of thing is neat, and we take it for granted.

I'm not doing Maggie's conscience.

This post is part of my "Every Simpsons Character Ever" series. For a list of my rules in this project, click here.

This concludes week two! From next week I'll only be doing two characters a week, look for updates on Mondays and Thursdays! And thanks for your support!
