Faust and the Faustian are at the heart of Clark's motto, "Challenge Convention, Change the World." We're interested in how this fifteenth-century, small-town German necromancy caught the attention of so many writers, artists, and musicians, including Marlowe, Goethe, Bulgakov, Mann, Havel, Liszt and Gounod.

The Simpsons
.. Prof Tobin said the forum was also about fun.. so I thought I might post something I think is quite funny - there just seems to be a Simpsons episode about kinda everything :-)
I knew there was a Simpsons episode dealing with Faust! I love Ned as the devil.
I do like how strongly the devil adheres to the contract: Homer could have kept his soul if he didn't finish the donut. (Personally, I would have kept the remaining donut like in a safe or something...)
Fantastic!!
ReplyDelete...he ate the donut?... personally, I would have thrown it out. I like it!
ReplyDeleteI dunno, donuts are preeeettty good. It might be worth it :)
