Yes, Virginia, there is a Krusty the Clown

The letter asking about whether Krusty is real is a reference to Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, a letter from 1897 by a eight year old girl who begins to doubt Santa's existence.

  • The writer of the letter to Krusty is Virginia O'Hanrahan, the original was written by Virginia O'Hanlon
  • The letter to Krusty uses the following lines from the original:
    • I am eight years old
    • Some of my little friends say their is no (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown)
    • Papa says, "if (you see it in "The Sun"/Kent Brockman says it on "Springfield Action News"), it's so"
    • Please tell me the truth, is there really a (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown)?
  • The response by Miss Pennycandy is similar to the original also, changing the examples to Krusty related items
    • Yes Virginia there is a (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown). He exists as certainly as (Love, generosity and devotion/various Krusty brand items)
    • Alas! How dreary would be the world if there was no (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown)! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias
    • Not believe in (Santa Claus/Krusty the Clown)! You might as well not believe in fairies
    • A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay ten times ten-thousand years from now (he will continue to make glad the/his estate will continue to make a percentage on goods targeted at the very) heart of childhood.
