Get in the Halloween spirit Simpsons-style with Kidrobot’s latest collaboration with the long running animation series. See Homer celebrate Dia de los Muertos in typical garb, all swagged out in white mariachi suit, giant sombrero and traditional calavera mask.

Our old friend Jim Mahfood, aka Food One — he of the awesome L.A. Ink Stains comics and esteemed Prom organizer — has finally gotten his much worked on show launched over at MTV’s Liquid Television.
