Kevin Smith To Guest-Star On “The Simpsons” As Himself

Kevin Smith has a few animated series in production as we speak including Masters of the Universe, Howard the Duck, and maybe a Clerks reprisal and what better way to ready yourself for that onslaught than to take Kevin on in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons.

The Carolyn Omine-written episode of The Simpsons will feature Kevin Smith voice himself in a story that will involve Marge getting a new gig of some kind. In terms of comic book knowledge, hopefully we get an epic clash between Kevin and Comic Book Guy.!

In the meantime, new episodes of The Simpsons return on February 16th.

Synopsis:
