0009 - Lisa’s Conscience

Added 2021-08-12 08:01:00 +0000 UTC

Yes, I admit we're going to some weird places here.

We can debate all day and all night whether the little angel and devil that appear on a character's shoulder exist as a complete and separate character to the actual original character. So let's!

What's that you say? They don't 'exist'? Well I got news for you buster: neither does Lisa. Is Lisa's conscience, that appears to tell her not to take money from the titular money jar, not worthy of some scrutiny here?

But aren't they just an extension of Lisa herself? Perhaps, but she interacts with them separately, so with regards to their existence within the Simpsons world, they are more than just hypothetical internal thought. And as some great philosopher once said: "Relax! What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind."

Anyway, it's my project and I wanted to draw them because they're cute.
