The print on the sign Bart hands Homer to put on the lawn changes from one shot to the next.

And then there was silence

Bart wins an elephant in a radio phone-in competition.

This is a strong episode with good character moments and themes.

As ever the writers get great mileage out of Homer's stupidity and the general interaction between members of the Simpson family. Adding Stampy into the mix does generate humour, particularly with how naughty he is. My favourite gag in the episode is when he silences all the barking/howling dogs in Springfield.

I like the conservationist messages which are written in a very humorous way with various gags like comparing the mentality of workers in industries like ivory dealing and sealing to being president of the Fox Network.
