The weird thing is, if you know what Harry Shearer looks like as an adult, he is immediately recognizable as a child.

Yes, he plays the lame child to whom Jonathan gives his donkey. I was delighted to hear that, but I've never seen a photo of Harry Shearer, so I would never have guessed.

I've been a fan of "The Simpsons" since the start. I don't recall a "The Robe" joke tossed in to the mix. Even as The Reverend Lovejoy.
