According to an entry in his blog earlier this week, writer Neil Gaiman--winner of the Newbery Medal and multiple Hugo Awards, writer of books (such as "The Graveyard Book") and comic books (such as "The Sandman") and screenplays (such as "Coraline")--spent part of a day doing a voice-over for an episode of The Simpsons.
Modestly and almost certainly inaccurately, he worries that "Probably this is all I shall be remembered for."
He is not the first author to appear on the show--John Updike, Stephen King, Jonathan Franzen and J.K. Rowling, among others, precede him.
The episode is called "The Book Job," and Gaiman plays himself. He might be yellow, Gaiman notes, and the episode will air next year.
