Similarities to The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick
UPDATE: I came across this page where the episode's creators explicitly state the connection between this episode and the work of Philip K. Dick: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/05/05/simpsons-lego-episode-inside-jokes/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.253.122.141 (talk) 22:31, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Did anyone else notice that in this episode the play set that triggers the chain of events sending Homer into his fantasy world is called the "Perky Patty's Princess shop"?

In The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, colonists use play sets with the brand name "Perky Pat" which they can psychologically inhabit with the use of a drug called Can-D. This material also originally appears in Dick's 1963 novelette, The Days of Perky Pat.

The use of the name Perky Pat, the concept of using a play set as an anodyne, and Homer's delusional alternate universe (a common theme in Philip K. Dick novels) suggests that this episode was heavily influenced by Dick's work. I suggest this point be made in the main article for the episode as well as in the pages for the Philip K. Dick works. I unfortunately don't know the conventions to follow on wikipedia to do this myself. Thanks all.

I have absolutely no clue if this edit is in the right place / or if it's appropriate .... but I'll just leave it here, thanks. 146.90.29.175 (talk) 20:01, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * There's a direct link with Philip K Dick in this episode .... look closely at the books on display in Comic Book Guy's shop: there's a few PKD novels on sale.
