- * THE ULTIMATE SIMPSONS ICON COLLECTION *
- *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
-
- Being a Simpsons fan, long enjoying all things of the
- Simpson way, I have enjoyed and used the icons made
- by other folks out there. However, since none of the icon
- collections featured a wide variety of Springfield
- characters, and being possessed of both the Simpsons
- Illustrated magazine and a color scanner, I felt it my
- duty (and pleasure) to bring to the world the most
- complete collection of Simpson icons yet to be found.
-
- I do not have the full collection here; some major
- secondary characters are missing, which I intend to
- create, in a second Simpsons collection, hopefully before
- the end of the year.
-
- I think icons should be for the enjoyment of all, without
- hidden costs. So instead of asking for money (which I
- couldn't do anyway, as they are copyrighted characters),
- I would ask one thing--if you like these icons and keep them,
- please send me either a postcard or an e-mail and let me
- know what you think of them. I thrive on feedback, and
- would be interested in all comments, flames and concerns
- expressed by everyone.
-
- If I do not receive any feedback, I will probably keep the
- second collection of icons to myself, perceiving that there
- is no interest in the outside world for them.
-
- I also want to take one last paragraph to give thanks to
- Dave Schutz, whose icons I have enjoyed immensely.
- They're some of the best out there, in a "Colossal Icon"
- collection. He used a wonderful little application to
- put his icons on. When you turn on balloon help, these
- icons "speak." I have borrowed this application, and have
- put my Simpsons icons on them, so they, too, can have voices.
-
- I hope you enjoy my icons. It was a labor of true fandom.
