There was an issue of JIM hanging in front of the counter. Nice touch. I guess Groening is a fan. Woodring's art is getting better and better, but I do miss the actual comic strips he used to do.

That house looks like any other Craftsman style home of the early twentieth century. Mark, why does that creep you out?

The corbels are shown supporting the fascia, not the actual roof itself. The fascia should be fastened onto the ends of the horizontal members of the corbel.
