Excerpt from Slashfilm's Interview with Dave Perillo:
/Film: The world of The Simpsons is so vast and expansive. Was Dancing Homer your first choice and what is it about the episode that sticks with you?
Dave Perillo: Had to do Homer J. Simpson first, he’s the patriarch of the family and really the most important character of the series. I thought it would be great to represent him as one of his most memorable personas, “Dancin’ Homerâ€. It was one of the best episodes of “The Simpsons†and really showed the epic success/fame to the ultimate flop of Homer which ends up being a recurring theme throughout the series.
/Film: You have a distinct style and so do The Simpsons. How did you go about balancing that? Making it recognizably both a Simpsons and Perillo piece?
Dave Perillo: I really wanted to preserve the look of “The Simpsons†so I think that really shines across more than my typical style. My color palette and idea of doing it as a kinda retro advertisment for Dancin’ Homer helps add my flair to it."
