EDIT 11/4/2013, 10:30 a.m. EST: As noted in the comments below, this gag wasn’t part of the regular Hobbit-driven chalkboard gag, but the Hobbit parody credits also ran as scheduled. Sorry for the mix-up; we were provided with the image before the episode was available.

As part of today’s tribute to the late Marcia Wallace, Fox’s long-running animated sitcom The Simpsons included one of Bart Simpson’s trademark “chalkboard gags” acknowledging the loss of her character, Edna Krabappel–who, presumably, is the one who was making him write on the chalkboard all those times.”We’ll really miss you Mrs. K.,” Bart Simpson wrote on the chalkboard in the credits sequence ahead of Sunday night’s new episode, “Four Regrettings and a Funeral.” The original opening–which showed The Simpsons traversing Middle Earth as characters from The Hobbit–ran as well. You can see that here.Wallace died October 25 at her home in Los Angeles of complications from pneumonia.
