Comedy nerd alert

If you're a fan of The Simpsons,
go directly to this New Yorker interview with
John Swartzwelder, who holds the show record for writing 59 episodes.
 
He's legendary in comedy circles for dark jokes like:
 
"Tragedy struck the slopes of Mount Rainier this week when a stranded hiker had to eat the people who were rescuing him just to stay alive
.
 
 
"If they can kill Kennedys, why can’t they make a cup of coffee that tastes good?” 
 
"I did a cartoon that had some nicely drawn chickens in it—one dead in the middle of the road, with the other two wailing, “Why? Why!?”
