- Itchy & Scratchy & Marge
] There are several characters who work at I&S studios who are caricatures of real people: the cartoonist who draws the Marge/Squirrel is based on
Eddie Fitzgerald , who worked atFilmation and the three people with Meyers when he is asking Marge for suggestions are caricatures ofRich Moore ,David Silverman andWes Archer .Alex Rocco makes his first of three appearances as Roger Meyers. Many people behind "The Simpsons" were huge fans of "The Godfather " and Jim Reardon looked for a way to shoot him in the eye as a reference to Rocco's character,Moe Greene .The long montage of the Kids of Springfield playing was directed by Bob Anderson and is making a satirical point by saying the opposite of what the writers believed.
