Worst storefront ad ever?

There is nothing "out of character" in the ad. We know what to expect from Homer, and he delivers.
Yes, Marge is in the backseat. Yes, Homer has not ordered anything for her. Yes, the actual meal is suited for the obese. Yes, Homer is an awful roll(?) model.
But it gains one's attention.
Yeah, but the artwork is terrible! Maybe that doesn't come through in the photograph - which is a little fuzzy. But if you see it in person, it looks bizarre. The yellow is brighter and the peculiar shapes of the characters are more striking.
At a time when comedy writing is probably at an all time low (can you say Leno and Letterman?), I think the Simpson's writers are still in a league of their own.
