In Appreciation of John Schwartzwelder

Shoebox23 had a quick thing to say said Tue, May 4th 2021 at 12:21am ET

In a recently published New Yorker interview with the former prolific Simpsons writer, he explains where the term “Meh” came from (it first appeared in a Simpsons episode he wrote). If it wasn’t for Schwartzwelder, this website would not exist!

- @f00l @mbersiam @unksol Opening in an incognito window should help. Or it’s a coincidence, I don’t know.
