Summary edit

This image, SimpsonsOpenComp2.png, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (squiggyfm) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution screenshot from an episode

2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the DVDs in any way;

3. the image is significant because it provides information about The Simpsons opening sequence that cannot be better explained with words. It accompanies a textual description of the sequence and their differences but the picture is very useful to compare, see and understand the differences between them.

I made this image from digitally editing together frames from the opening sequence using Photoshop.
