* THE ULTIMATE SIMPSONS ICON COLLECTION *
* Volume 1 *
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
September 1993 (Revision March 1995)
IMPORTANT NOTE!! I have changed addresses (note at bottom).
Also, this is a final version, and it replaces all
previous versions. Please distribute as widely as possible.
Being a Simpsons fan, I have enjoyed OFF icons made by
other folks out there. However, since none of the icon
collections featured a wide variety of Springfield
characters, 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. However, if you
download the second Simpsons collection (at many
sites), you'll be able to enjoy lots more Simpson
icons!
I hope you enjoy my icons. It was a "labor" of true
fandom. (Is making Simpson icons really "work?")
Cost....
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. (And besides, the
more e-mail I get, the more icons I'll make!)
Credits...
I want to thank Fox and Matt Groening, for their
wonderful show. Without them, these icons wouldn't exist!
I also want to thank 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, the icons have funny text inside the
balloon help. I have borrowed this application, and
have put my Simpsons icons on them, so you can read a
quote from yourfavorite character (however, there is
no actual sound).
Legal Stuff...
You may freely distribute this collection of Simpson
icons, provided you distribute the collection in its
original form with all the files intact, give me credit,
and do not charge anything for them. If you do use these
icons, I would be delighted to see what you've done. Feel
free to send me things that use my icons, and thanks!
