Kirk Van Houten's infamous low point in The Simpsons is made much worse and messier in artwork that adds a Watchmen-inspired twist to the scene.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Simpsons' Kirk Van Houten's infamous season 8 low point is made much worse and messier in artwork that adds a grim Watchmen-inspired twist. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' celebrated 1986 12-issue comic book series is a dark deconstruction of the superhero genre, where a group of former superheroes are reunited to solve the conspiracy that led to the death of an ally.
Looking back to season 8's "A Milhouse Divided," the moment Kirk was fired from the cracker factory is merged with Rorscharch's final moments, as Kirk takes on the role of the vigilante and his boss takes on Doctor Manhattan's role. Reusing dialogue from the episode, Kirk receives a cold, and ultimately gorier dismissal from the cracker factory.
In The Simpsons season 19, Kirk and Luann would eventually remarry after they found themselves growing closer once more, allowing Milhouse to have a proper family. After a brief period stranded on a desert island together, the pair have remained together, though this hasn't stopped friction between them. While his marriage is still rocky, it is evident that Kirk at the very least has managed to somewhat grow, or at the very least reclaim a bit of the life he had before.
