The hunt for Mr. Flanders

[Waddington]

That recurrent exhibition of the Simpsons (particularly, Ned Flanders) in each new announcement, is becoming more intriguing in each news. I see people making comments that it deviates the attention to the game itself, but... Seems there's more than simply adding a funny character there.
There's definitely simething between the line to read there...

Seems a treasure hunt from BGA, but I cannot find any tips on where to start...

Should we start the hunt for an Easter Egg at BGA? Spoilers are welcome in this topic!

Let's "crack the code"!

Good idea !!! But I have no clue to be honest ...

Maybe a hint to Asmodee?

I don't think it means anything, it's just that whoever writes these news posts clearly enjoys pop culture references. The front page top story right now is literally the word "Abyss:" followed by two full lines of a song from a Disney film.

There might be a reason behind it. Why specifficaly Mr. Flanders?
Why some in evidence, others a bit hidden with the image?

Abyss: Flanders is a fish

Quetzal: Flanders on a boat

1871: CITY OF THE BIG SHOULDERS: Flanders is an entrepeneur or investor

Res Arcada: Flanders under the armpit of a sourcerer?

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER: The guy's face is mixed with Spain?

Just Deserts: a FLANders? really? LOL!

Alhambra: There he is, in the bottom left, looking at you!

Carcassonne H&G: he is miming a mammoth!

There were some games without his appearance, but St. Petersburg, there he is. First appearance.

Blue Skies : in the cockpit
Dingo's dreams : what is this white dog ? Has Flanders left his place ?
Draftosaurus : Flanders is back.
So what's going on ?

Yep. Adding to the list:

The city of Bruges is in the region of Flanders, Hans Im Gluck published the original, Queen Games is publishing a re-implementation as Hamburg, and both these companies have given rights for games of theirs to be implemented for BGA. Maybe I'm overthinking...
