** A 1990 cover features Alfred E. Neuman mowing down Bart's spiky hair with a lawnmower. In the same issue a "behind the scenes" peek is taken in the Simpsons studios.

When Creator/MattGroening asks whether it is to honor them for being the first succesful sitcom since "The Flintstones?" the man answers: "No, because ever since we came along "Hanna Barbera" no longer has the worst animation on television." [[note]] Back in the early nineties the animation in "The Simpsons" was still very crude. [[/note]]
