Why was Bartman ever a thing in the early 90's as far as merchandise goes?

After the 1989 Batman movie came out there was a HUGE explosion in Batman-related merchandising

The Batman logo was EVERYWHERE. There hadn't been a big hit comic book movie since the Superman franchise, so nobody was used to anything like this.

At the same time, Simpsons knock-off merchandising was already everywhere...even before the show started there were floods of knock-off Simpsons T-Shirts dating back to the "Tracy Ullman Show" days. Lots of these knock-off shirts had nothing to do with anything that happened on the show or in the Tracy Ullman shorts...it was just a way to make "cool" pop culture references by combining different characters.


So "Bartman" was just a combination of two "T-Shirt Icon" characters, that's all.

:whoa: mad people fukked with pc/dos games..even when windows became the standard, cause some games still needed to run in dos
I never got into PC gaming, the library had all the good ones and I only really played DOOM but my time was limited at the family computer. We needed that Simpsons arcade on Genesis or SNES like turtles in time

"You know, there's a little place called Mary Ann's Hammocks. The nice thing about that place is Mary Ann gets in the hammock with you."

One of the best jokes they've ever made, because it was really a graduate / 400 level joke





The Kellogg family were very early 7th day Adventist, and formed of course, Kellogg's cereal. They are often considered the founders or more so, the people who populated the religion. This is the "and they worship it? :shaq: " ... "In a way :patrice:" exchange.

They were some really devious people
