RMG client Tim Long (Executive Producer, The Simpsons and Writer on The Late Show with David Letterman) recently wrote the NY Times piece, “Thanksgiving with the Far-Flung Mulligans” (illustrations by Paul Sahre), a six act holiday play.  The story centers around the Mulligan clan Thanksgiving, taking place across six different states.  If you haven’t had a chance to read it, just click the graphic to the left and it will take you directly to the NY Times website.

Tim of course has been hard at work writing for The Simpsons, now in its twenty-first season on FOX.  He has already left a substantial mark on the current season, penning an episode that inspired Marge Simpson’s Playboy cover spread.
