    No one does anymore. That has been a running joke on the Simpsons for like 17 years. It’s mostly all done in Korea.

    It’s not photoshop I don’t think. There are a couple of high end frame by frame software packages that are made specifically for animators.

    so they dont actually animate in house?

    I would’ve never guessed he voiced both Stan and Roger! I wonder what other characters he does.
