Joel Chandler Harris Finally Gets a Simpsons Avatar
The Simpsons might as well not release their movie this summer.
There’s no way it will live up to CREATING YOUR OWN SIMPSONS AVATAR online …or, in my case, creating the avatar of historical figures.
Here’s Joel Chandler Harris–

And now here’s the real Joel Chandler Harris, looking gruffer than usual–

Though the Simpsons avatar idea is both amazing and addicting, there’s a sad truth–many historical figures didn’t have the luxury of creating avatars for themselves on the Simpsons Movie website.
In fact, I think it’s a little late for most historical figures, so the burden falls on the rest of us–the faithful readers and writers of the Wren’s Nest blog.
What would your favorite historical figure look like in the Simpsons?
If you send me your historical Simpsons avatar, I’ll post it right here on the world famous Wren’s Nest blog.
Rules–
- Must be someone I’ve heard of.
- That someone must be dead.
- That avatar must be emailed to lain@wrensnestonline.com.
That’s it! Hop to it!
Thanks to Baby Got Books for the link and the idea!

Ok..so I’m working on mine and really need to give it a mustash but can’t figure out how. How’d you do it??
There are arrows on either side of the Mouth options, so there are actually several pages of different mouths and mustaches to choose from.
Nevermind, I found it. Mine is one the way as I type!
Good work, Deb!
Hey Gabe, which historical figure are you doing?
So, where are these avatars?
Does that swimmer guy who played tarzan count as a historical figure?
Joe, I’m going to post them when I get all of them in.
So, I for sure won’t post them until I get yours! Yes, Johnny Weissmuller counts, big time.
Gabe, still waiting on yours. Deb, I never got your email…make sure you get it into me please!
Hmm…I sent it in yesterday to the address. I just resent it. Please advise if you don’t get it. I can’t wait to see what people think!
Louisa May Alcott! Extra points for mercury poisoning-induced under-eye bagginess.
Good one, Rachael. Keep these coming!
There is no shirtless option, so Weissmueller will not be attending the festivities. Sorry. Also, my boss caught me messing around on the Simpson’s website, which is tough to pass off as work. You had better go on without me.
[...] Don’t be shy! Make them awesome! It’s a lot of fun, and we’ve already got some great historical figures. For more information, check out the previous post. [...]
That’s lame, Joe. You have a computer at home.
Also, I wonder what it’s like to have a boss!
Let me tell you, Lain, it is TORTURE.
I mean, uh, awesome!
