'''''The Simpsons'' shorts''' is a series of one-minute shorts that ran on the variety show ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]'' for three seasons, before the characters spun off into their own half-hour prime time show called ''[[The Simpsons]]''. The shorts were created by cartoonist [[Matt Groening]] in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]'s office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after his own family. Bart was modeled after Groening's older brother, Mark, but given a different name which was chosen as an anagram of "brat."

The stories were written and storyboarded by Matt Groening. The family was crudely drawn, because Groening had submitted basic sketches to the animators, assuming they would clean them up; instead they just traced over his drawings. The animation was produced domestically at [[Klasky Csupo]], with [[Wesley Archer]], [[David Silverman]], and [[Bill Kopp]] being animators for the first season. After season one it was animated by Archer and Silverman. [[Georgie Peluse]] was the colorist and the person who decided to make the characters yellow.

Suzanne the Witch.png

Suzanne is a witch who lives in a Gingerbread House.

After Bart and Lisa were thrown into the Deep Dark Woods, they found their way to the Gingerbread House. At first, Lisa wanted to look up the house in her copy of Grimms' Fairy Tales, but the offer of free candy from Suzanne was enough for her and Bart to enter the house. Soon, the two of them were chained up, with Bart being force fed sweets and Lisa being made to clean the house. Meanwhile, Homer returned home without the kids, and Marge made him go and look for them.

While Bart was eating, Lisa pointed out that Suzanne was only fattening him up so she could eat him, but Bart didn't care. As Bart and Lisa spoke, Suzanne entered the room again and told them to stop chattering and told Lisa to get back to sweeping as the house was filthy. Bart asked why she cared as it wasn't like she had a boyfriend. Suzanne became defensive and said that she did have a boyfriend called George. When she looked at her cauldron, she gave George the surname of "Cauldron". Bart and Lisa laughed at Suzanne because they assumed she was making her boyfriend up...
