Read Thomas Pynchon’s Handwritten Edits to His Simpsons Script

Matt Selman, executive producer of “The Simpsons,” tweeted out Thomas Pynchon’s handwritten edits to his script for his second Simpsons appearance, which he says Pynchon faxed to him.

Pynchon’s edits illustrate his sense of humor, his groan-worthy puns — “the Frying of Latke 49” … “V.-licious!” — and his ability to make something funny even funnier.

And, of course, Pynchon’s punning fits right in with the episode’s title, “All’s Fair in Oven War.”

Pynchon signs off with “Sorry, guys. Homer is my role model and I can’t speak ill of him.”
