Description
The Simpsons Opening Couch Gag Key Master Production Cel Setup Featuring Matt Groening Signed with Remarque (Fox Studios, 1999). Matt Groening himself joins the Simpson family in this phenomenal signed and remarqued Key Master cel setup from the opening Couch Gag of Season 11's "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner". Debuting as the third episode of the season on October 24, 1999, this special opening gag revolves around Marge noticing Matt's name scrawled in the carpet as the family gathers on the couch; after she wipes it away, Mr. Groening appears to re-sign the family's living room floor near the 1:09 timestamp of the intro sequence. The Key Master setup of that very scene is offered here, composed of five hand-painted character layers plus the hand-inked, hand-painted background layers for the living room and TV overlay. All featured in glorious full-figure, the Simpson family and Mr. Groening share a combined image area of approximately 6.75" x 5.75" nicely centered across the 12 field cel setup, with Groening's signature and a remarque of Bart found in the lower left alongside a 20th Century Fox seal; a one-of-a-kind setup that could truly be considered as the "ultimate" Couch Gag. A Twentieth Century Fox Studios Collector's Portfolio Certificate of Authenticity that explains the annual release of 100 pieces of original Simpsons production art is also included. If you love The Simpsons as much as we do, this piece is not to be missed! This unique Key Master cel setup is in Very Good condition with minor handling wear.Auction Info
