*  THE PC SIMPSONS ICON COLLECTION, VOLUMES ONE TWO AND THREE   *
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
July, 1994

Being a Simpsons fan, I have enjoyed OFF icons made 
by other folks out there. However, since none of the icon 
collections featured a wide variety of Springfield 
characters, I felt it my duty (and pleasure) to bring 
to the world the most complete collection of 
Simpson icons yet to be found.

At this point I would like to thank Tim Anstine, for the 
hours he put in to convert my icon volumes into PC format. 
I made my icons on a Macintosh (the 3 volumes in Mac format 
can be found at info-mac and its mirrors), and this PC version 
would not exist without his generous help and effort. 
Thanks much, Tim! Now Windows folks can happily infest their 
desktops as well.

I want to thank all the folks out there who have sent me 
e-mail and provided me with lots of incentive to keep cranking
out more icons. I've gotten tons of great suggestions for 
icons and want to thank everyone for their help. I would 
also like to thank the people who sent me pictures, which
promptly got turned into more icons. And I would like to
encourage folks to keep e-mailing me with suggestions and
comments.

Unbelievably, the collection still is not complete; 
I am at this moment making still more guest stars 
and secondary characters. It is a testimony to the 
Simpsons show that so many characters have graced 
it in the 4+ years it's existed. I will try to get to as 
many of them as I can in my fourth volume of Simpsons 
icons, which will be released in the future. I will 
concentrate mostly on the suggestions that people
have e-mailed me. So it's to your advantage to e-mail
me and give me your ideas for icons (and send me pix!).

These icons are free for your enjoyment. So instead of 
asking for money (which I couldn't do anyway, as they 
are copyrighted characters), all I ask is that if you like 
these icons and keep them, please send me either an 
e-mail or a postcard and let me know what you think 
of them. I thrive on feedback, and would be interested 
in all comments. (And besides, the more e-mail I get, the 
faster I'll get the third collection done. And the more 
icons will result, as I get suggestions.)

LEGAL STUFF:  You may freely distribute this collection of 
Simpson icons, provided you distribute them in their 
original form with all files intact, give me credit, and 
do not charge anything for them.
