I never thought Alan Moore's Watchmen would be referenced in a mainstream animated sitcom like The Simpsons. Watchmen is critically acclaimed enough to be the first graphic novel to win the Hugo Award, I'll give it that. But I always thought the comic had an "underground" quality to it, since unlike other comics it has never been heavily commercialized (Which to me was a good thing.).
That perception changed when I was browsing for images and came across this image taken by an episode of a Simpsons rerun. Then again, creator Matt Groening is a comics geek so it's no surprise!
