THE SIMPSONS: "THE DEVIL WEARS NADA"
Fox has released an image and description from "The Devil Wears Nada," the Sunday, Nov. 15 episode of The Simpsons.
Here's how Fox describes the episode:
"In an effort to raise money for charity, Marge and the 'Philanthro-Chicks' decide to pose for a calendar. At the photo studio, Marge is a bit reluctant to reveal any skin, but the photographer (Hank Azaria) loosens her up with wine and before long, Marge and her pin-up poses are the talk of Springfield."

IMAGE COMICS' PROOF ENDS FIRST SEASON
Image Comics' Proof -- the cryptozoological thriller by writer Alex Grecian and artist Riley Rossmo -- will end its "first season" in January, but a second season is planned.
"While this season of Proof is ending, the series is just beginning," Grecian said. "Not only do Riley and I have a couple of side projects such as his Cowboy Ninja Viking, but Proof takes a very big turn with issue #28. It's a natural place to take a short break. Rest assured we'll be back and when we start again nothing in Proof will ever be the same."
In Proof, Special Agent John "Proof" Prufrock, also known as Bigfoot, works for The Lodge, an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting "monsters" from the threat of human beings. A fourth collection, Proof Vol. 4: Julia, will be released during the hiatus.
Grecian and Rossmo will remain the regular creative team in the new season, due in 2010.
Rossmo said of the break, "Another reason is to give new readers a very easy jumping-on point. While we've certainly had a great response to the trades, we're making it even easier and more inexpensive than ever to jump on board. If you've never read Proof before or only do so with the collections, the upcoming new season is your chance to become a regular reader."
The finale of the first season, Proof #28, will be in stores on Jan. 27.
