This post was fun to read. I love it when TV shows (cartoons, too) make literary references. When I recognize the reference, I feel like a member of a secret, wonderful club.
I'll never forget when Bart on The Simpsons was talking to Lisa and said: "So I says to Mabel, I says." I knew the reference, but my teenage daughter, who had just read The Great Gatsby, started yelling, "I know that one! The Great Gatsby!" She was so pleased with herself.
If you find anything else like this, I'd be delighted to read about it.
