Ahoi, everybody in Ahoahoyo everybody and welcome to another talking Simpsons interview.

I am Bob Mackie hoping for no whammy's who is here with me today.

Henry Gilbert and it never hurts to help. Exactly and today. Henry Gilbert and it never hurts to help.

Exactly and today we are talking to the great Bill Copp and animation legend and if you

existed throughout the 80s 90s and hell even today you've seen definitely at least a few of the things he's worked on right Henry including

the initial Tracy Alman Simpson shorts.

Yeah that was I had reached that to Bill Copp a while ago, after he did the David Silverman interview, you know, hearing about Bill Cop that I had seen his other works like Eek the Cat, Terrible Thunder Lizards, the Press Your Luck whammies, but I wasn't aware that he was like the third

man of the original Simpsons animators with David Silverman and West Archer and so we wanted to seek him out and chat with him on a podcast

and he shared with us so many interesting details about those early days of

animating The Simpsons on Tracy Ullman.

Yeah, we talked to him about his entire career, both the Simpson stuff and also working on the

Roger Rabbit shorts, working on Eek the cat, working on the finale for Tales from The

Crepons so much.

He basically tells us on the podcast, he has not been unemployed since he left

uh... cal arts and we talk about cal arts too yeah he's in the cal arts mafia

he was part of the that group of folks who would leave cal arts in the early 80s
