Homer's Triple Bypass

] When Homer is performing a sock-puppet show to Lisa and Bart, he uses "Akbar" and "Jeff", both of whom are characters from Matt Groening's weekly comic strip "Life in Hell". Homer follows behind the house that was the birthplace of Edgar Allan Poe, which was placed in the episode by David Silverman. The scene where Homer sings in a church as a boy is based on the film "Empire of the Sun".] Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, authors of "I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide", called it "a cautionary tale that gives Dr Nick his biggest chance to shine." They also praised the "cloud goes up, cloud goes down" line. IGN noted that "The Simpsons" episode, "Homer's Triple Bipass" [sic] , introduced fans to one of the show's more endearing background players, Dr. Nick."cite web|url=http://uk.stars.ign.com/articles/838/838918p1.html|title=OCD: The Simpsons' Mr. McGreg|accessdate=2008-02-18|date=November 30, 2007|author=Pirrello, Phil|publisher=IGN]
