Homer and Bender come face to face in the Simpsons/Futurama crossover – and it doesn’t look pretty (Picture: Fox)

Remember that Simpsons/Futurama crossover you’ve been waiting for? Well prepare to get even more excited – because here’s the first pic from the episode.

The snap sees Homer and robot Bender coming face to face – although the latter doesn’t look too pleased about it, apparently gearing up to exact some kind of fiery revenge on the Springfield stalwart.

All of which would tie in nicely with a plot which reportedly sees Bender coming to Springfield from the future to kill Bart to stop a terrible event that Bart causes in the future with a misplaced time capsule.



Al Jean, who revealed plans for the episode at Comic Con 2013, explained: ‘Futurama is such an easy fit.


‘It’s really funny, and their show lends itself to any variety of plot lines. By having them on, we have a little freesom… The biggest thrill for me is that we don’t have to adjust the animation style.’

The episode, entitled Simpsorama, is due to air in the US on November 9, part of an exciting Simpsons season which will also feature the much-hyped Springfield/Family Guy crossover.
