BART'S BEDROOM "The nice thing about Bart's room is that it's a mess, but it's a tidy mess, because it always stays the same. And his desk is not too messy, because he hardly uses it," says Silverman with admiration about the nerve center of Bart's universe. (The tree house, Bart's outdoor annex in which he and his best friend, Milhouse, swap philosophies and read comics, is just out of view.)

1 AUTOGRAPHED KRUSTY POSTER "Yeah, I know the signature's fake," says Bart, "but you gotta admire the guy. When I get to be as big and famous as Krusty, I hope to treat my fans with the same utter contempt."

2 RADIOACTIVE Man comic-book collection "I have every one except the rare, recalled issue, No. 73, the one with the nude centerfold of Radioactive Man," Bart boasts.

3 BOOKSHELF WITH MANY HEFTY VOLUMES "My mom put them there to improve my mind," admits Bart. "But what kid in his right mind wants to read the 1968 Reader's Digest Junior Encyclopedia of Barnyard Friends?"

4 PRINCIPAL SKINNER DARTBOARD "I was flattered when young Simpson requested a large glossy of myself," says Skinner. "The lad has started quite a trend. A lot of the other young hooligans have also requested photos of me."

5 HOMEWORK-EATING DOG "Do you realize how hard it is to train a dog to do this trick?" asks Bart.

. 6 BART'S DEATH-DEFYING SKATEBOARD OF DOOM "I always keep it at the foot my bed," says Bart. "I tried sleeping with it, but I woke up with splinters in my butt."

7 ASSORTED SNACK TREATS "I have an ample supply of emergency rations in case of an earthquake or other natural disaster," says Bart. "Every time I hear a loud noise, I start a-gobblin'."

8 KRUSTY BEDSPREAD Recalled from stores for causing rashes. "Anyone who can't stand a few red patches on his skin and a little incessant itching doesn't deserve to be called a true Krusty fan," says Bart.

THE TV ROOM The deceptively informal layout of this all-important family room disguises the thought that went into the placement of the lamps and bric-a-brac-the very details that, as every decorator well knows, make a TV room a comfy entertainment center. "Too bad you can't see the stereo from here," says Silverman. "You know how Marge loves to listen to her Xavier Cugat albums."

1 THE TELEVISION "It really is the center of our lives," says Homer. "We've canceled entire vacations so we wouldn't miss our favorite reruns of Bumblebee Man."

2 HOOK RUG 3'x 5' Handmade by Marge. "The rug used to be 9' x 12', but Homer washed it as a sort of gift on Mother's Day six years ago, and it's never been the same since," she explains.

3 COUCH Brown Dacron upholstery, polyester fill. "Brown compliments our skin tone," explains Marge. "Plus, it really hides stains."

4 SCRATCHES ON COUCH MADE BY SNOWBALL I "She was a cute cat," says Lisa, "but she was very, very naughty." The rips haven't been repaired, says Homer, "because they don't make duct tape in brown."
