   Notes for 35ABF06 (Clan of the Cave Mom)

   OK "concept" episode with the survival-instinct interpretation of   
   events. Nice straightforward plot to lay it on top of, and that helped;   
   the end got a little silly but in general it made sense. Between the   
   Marge/Luann tension and alternative storytelling style I got shades of   
   8F04, as well.   
      
   Art style in those cutaways similar to UABF14 couch gag, though I am   
   still not sure whether that's supposed to imitate anything in   
   particular. Putting opening credits in a rare-but-more-common-now   
   different lettering style was neat, but when they fell half-in and   
   half-out of the letterboxed scenes it felt a little sloppy.   
      
   Meta: Marge refers to "the moustached man who has every job".   
      
   Easy come, easy go   
   Since last time: the rerun of 35ABF02 on 3/3 added a dedication to   
   Richard Lewis (with a dual image: his golem from HABF17 and a caricature   
   to help recognize him); the rerun of 35ABF04 on 3/10, predictably, lost   
   the dedication to Norman Lear.
