Nigel opines:
As far as I can see, no one ever answered that question, but I finally got
to see that episode of "The Simpsons" on BBC2 this evening and I would say
definitely, yes! That really does look like a Gene Wolfe homage. A bizarre
one, it's true, but an homage none the less.


Crush plays the party-pooper:
I'd much prefer that this were so and I plan to use it to recommend Gene
Wolfe to my Simpson-crazed friends, however...

the Simpson's Archive (http://www.snpp.com/episodes/8F02.html) notes three
other possible movie horror sources for this homage, two of which seem quite
credible:

o The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant (1971) http://us.imdb.com/Title?0069372


o The Thing with Two Heads (1972) http://us.imdb.com/Plot?0067245
